Mechanical metamaterials are meticulously designed structures with exceptional
mechanical properties determined by their microstructures and constituent materials …

Auxetic materials are a class of mechanical metamaterials. They exhibit lateral expansion
under tension, and lateral contraction under compression. Such metamaterials have …

Artificially-structured materials with negative Poisson's ratio, also known as auxetics, have
been the focus of numerous studies over the past few decades. In this paper, using a group …

Mechanical metamaterials have been designed to achieve custom Poisson's ratios via the
deformation of their microarchitecture. These designs, however, have yet to achieve the …

Novel auxetic tubes (NAT) were designed, fabricated and examined. Their mechanical
properties were compared with the original auxetic tube (OAT) by the finite element method …

Tremendous efforts have been devoted to preparing the ultrathin two‐dimensional (2D)
transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and TMDCs‐based heterojunctions owing to …

Meta-biomaterials are designer biomaterials with extraordinary characteristics that originate
from their geometrical designs. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a perfect fabrication route for …

In lightweight engineering, higher specific stiffness and strength for low-density are constant
quests, additively-manufactured auxetic truss-lattices have attracted great attentions due to …

Metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) lattice structures have been of
considerable importance and interest in numerous engineering applications. A …
