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

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) fiber was developed more than a decade ago. It has been regarded
as the most promising sustainable and biodegradable fiber to replace conventional …

This book discusses bulk solids that derive their mechanical properties not from those of
their base materials, but from their designed microstructures. Focusing on the negative …

Auxetic mechanical metamaterials are artificially architected materials that possess negative
Poisson's ratio, demonstrating transversal contracting deformation under external vertical …

The auxetic tubular materials have attracted wide attention owing to their unusual
mechanical properties and potential applications in designing foldable devices. However …

To solve the problems that the existing negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) structures only exhibit
single plateau stage and irregular deformation modes, a novel hierarchical NPR structure …

This paper presents for the first time two types of metamaterials based on the fragmentation–
reconstitution of rotating units in order to produce Poisson's ratio discontinuity at the original …

A new auxetic structure was designed with rigid diamonds incorporated to enhance the
strength of a star-shaped auxetic structure along with the symmetry in the present work. The …

Auxetics display the anomalous property of expanding laterally when uniaxially stretched,
that is, a negative Poisson's ratio, a property that arises from 1) the presence of specific …

Auxetic materials have gained popularity in engineering applications owing to their unique
deformation response mechanism. However, they have not been exploited to their full …
