The continuous advancement of multifunctional materials is resha** our way of life and
paving the door for innovative things for us to probe the world and ourselves. Multifunctional …

The surge of interest in so-called “designer materials” during the last few years together with
recent advances in additive manufacturing (3D printing) techniques that enable fabrication …

Auxetic textiles are intriguing materials with unusual capabilities. These materials exhibit
negative Poisson's ratio with extraordinary performance in toughness, resilience, shear …

Auxetic materials exhibiting a negative Poisson's ratio are shown to have better indentation
resistance, impact shielding capability, and enhanced toughness. Here, we report a class of …

Poisson's ratio had long been considered to be an intrinsic material property, confined within
a narrow domain and governed solely by the geometry of interatomic bonds. Materials with …

Metamaterials with artificially designed architectures are increasingly considered as new
paradigmatic material systems with unusual physical properties. Here, we report a class of …

Auxetic mechanical metamaterials (AMMs), as an exciting paradigm of metamaterials, have
attracted increasing attention due to their interesting mechanical properties (eg negative …

Over the last three decades but more particularly during the last 5 years, auxetic mechanical
metamaterials constructed from precisely architected polymer-based materials have …

Auxetic materials are a kind of non-conventional materials having negative Poisson's ratio.
They laterally expand when stretched or laterally shrink when compressed. Compared to …

In recent studies, some structures with alternating positive and negative Poisson's ratio have
been proposed, which provides a new direction for structural design. The novelty of this …
