NEGATIVE POISSON RATIO MATERIALS
(so-called auxetic materials or auxetics )
-What are auxetic materials?
-Auxetic materials expand (get fatter) when stretched, as opposed to most materials
which tend to get thinner.
Auxetics are likely to find uses in applications such as fasteners, car bumpers, sound proofing and shin pads.
