Auxetic materials for biomedical applications

open access: yes, 2015
The main aim of this project was to assess auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) materials for potential in biomedical devices. Specifically, a detailed comparative indentation study has been undertaken on auxetic and conventional foams for hip protector ...

Auxetic behavior in some fiber network structures

open access: yes, 2017
Auxetic materials are a rare class of materials that exhibit negative Poisson’s ratio. While most substances (like a rubber band) become thinner in lateral direction when stretched, auxetic materials grow thicker.

(In)efficacy of architected auxetic materials for impact mitigation: Investigations of energy absorption and force distribution

open access: yes
Auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) materials have been shown to provide improved indentation resistance, shear resistance, fracture toughness, and energy absorption [1].

Tribological properties of auxetic and conventional polypropylene weft knitted fabrics

open access: yes, 2010
Purpose: The wear resistance and friction reducing properties of polymer fibres can be improved with negative Poisson's ratio behaviour. Poisson's ratio is defined as the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain ...
