Abstract

In this study, auxetic materials are examined in terms of production techniques and their applications. Materials contract under uniaxial compression transversely and expand under tension transversely are named as auxetic and featured with a negative Poisson’s ratio. These materials exhibit a series of particular characteristics when compared to conventional materials, such as greater indentation resistance, high shear stiffness as well as excellent fracture toughness and unrivalled energy absorption abilities.
