Auxetic polymeric fibres as potential reinforcements in composite materials

Materials with negative Poisson's ratios (Le. those that expand in the transverse when tensile load is applied in the longitudinal) are also known as 'auxetic' materials. While there are examples of naturally occurring auxetic materials, the increasing interest in synthesising this pr...
