Auxetic foams counter-intuitively expand (shrink) under stretching (compression). These
foams can exhibit superior mechanical properties such as resistance to shear and …

Following high profile, life changing long term mental illnesses and fatalities in sports such
as skiing, cricket and American football—sports injuries feature regularly in national and …

Materials with negative Poisson's ratio attract considerable attention due to their underlying
intriguing physical properties and numerous promising applications, particularly in stringent …

Materials that become thicker when stretched and thinner when compressed are the subject
of this review. The theory behind the counterintuitive behavior of these so‐called auxetic …

Auxetic polymeric materials are a special kind of materials that exhibit negative Poisson's
ratio (NPR) effect. They get fatter when stretched and thinner when compressed. Auxetic …

The current status of research into auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) materials is reviewed,
with particular focus on those aspects of relevance to aerospace engineering …

Life‐changing illnesses and fatalities caused by inefficient personal protective clothing and
equipment are increasing day by day. The discrepancy between the test standards …

Featured Application Auxetic open cell foam was used as the comfort layer within a sports
helmet and has been shown to reduce the severity of linear impacts. The work undertaken …

An auxetic material exhibits exceptional features, which are different from a conventional
material. That is, the auxetic material gets fatter when it is stretched, or becomes smaller …

We tested whether conventional and auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) foam indentation
response fits with classical indentation theory. We first made foam cubes with 20–25 mm …
