Patterned Cuts in Textiles to Develop Auxetic Materials with Tailored Properties
Auxetic MaterialsWhen stretched, auxetic materials tend to expand rather than contract, which gives them a multitude of functional uses. Auxetic materials possess a negative Poisson’s ratio, and their auxetic properties are a result of their unique structure, which when stretched resembles a honeycomb shape. A research focus in the textile industry is the creation of […]
