The preparation of auxetic foams by three-dimensional printing and their characteristics (2013)
Journal Article

Repeatable auxetic foams are produced using three‐dimensional printing technologies. This methodology is applied here for the first time to produce playable polymeric auxetic foams with an idealized re‐entrant cellular structure. During uniaxial tens...

A review of the manufacture, mechanical properties and potential applications of auxetic foams (2013)
Journal Article

Auxetics are a modern class of material fabricated by altering the material microstructure. Unlike conventional materials, auxetics exhibit a negative Poisson's ratio when subjected to tensile loading. These materials have gained popularity within th...
