Auxetics

Auxetics are structures or materials that have a negative Poisson's ratio. When stretched, they become thicker perpendicular to the applied force. This occurs due to their particular internal structure and the way this deforms when the sample is uniaxially loaded. Auxetics can be single molecules, crystals, or a particular structure of macroscopic matter. Such materials and structures are expected to have mechanical properties such as high energy absorption and fracture resistance. Auxetics may be useful in applications such as body armor,[1] packing material, knee and elbow pads, robust shock absorbing material, and sponge mops.

The term auxetic derives from the Greek word auxetikos (αὐξητικός) which means 'that which tends to increase' and has its root in the word auxesis (αὔξησις), meaning 'increase' (noun). This terminology was coined by Professor Ken Evans of the University of Exeter.[2][3] One of the first artificially produced auxetic materials, the RFS structure (diamond-fold structure), was invented in 1978 by the Berlin researcher K. Pietsch. Although he did not use the term auxetics, he describes for the first time the underlying lever mechanism and its non-linear mechanical reaction is therefore considered the inventor of the auxetic net. The earliest published example of a material with negative Poisson's constant is due to A. G. Kolpakov in 1985, "Determination of the average characteristics of elastic frameworks"; the next synthetic auxetic material was described in Science in 1987, entitled "Foam structures with a Negative Poisson's Ratio"[4] by R.S. Lakes from the University of Wisconsin Madison. The use of the word auxetic to refer to this property probably began in 1991.[5]

Designs of composites with inverted hexagonal periodicity cell (auxetic hexagon), possessing negative Poisson ratios, were published in 1985.[6]

Typically, auxetic materials have low density, which is what allows the hinge-like areas of the auxetic microstructures to flex.[7]

At the macroscale, auxetic behaviour can be illustrated with an inelastic string wound around an elastic cord. When the ends of the structure are pulled apart, the inelastic string straightens while the elastic cord stretches and winds around it, increasing the structure's effective volume. Auxetic behaviour at the macroscale can also be employed for the development of products with enhanced characteristics such as footwear based on the auxetic rotating triangles structures developed by Grima and Evans.[8][9][10]

In footwear, auxetic design allows the sole to expand in size while walking or running, thereby increasing flexibility.

Examples of auxetic materials include:

  • Auxetic polyurethane foam[11][12]
  • α-Cristobalite.[13]
  • Liquid crystal polymers with rotating transverse rods could potentially be auxetic. Experimental pursuits towards producing materials auxetic at the molecular scale (and also in the macroscopic sense) have rarely been successful so far.[14]
  • Crystalline materials: Li, Na, K, Cu, Rb, Ag, Fe, Ni, Co, Cs, Au, Be, Ca, Zn, Sr, Sb, MoS, BAsO and other.[15][16][17]
  • Certain rocks and minerals[18]
  • Graphene, which can be made auxetic through the introduction of vacancy defects[19][20]
  • Carbon diamond-like phases[21]
  • Noncarbon nanotubes[22][23]
  • Living bone tissue (although this is only suspected)[18]
  • Tendons within their normal range of motion.[24]
  • Specific variants of polytetrafluorethylene polymers such as Gore-Tex[25]
  • Paper, several types. If a paper is stretched in an in-plane direction it will expand in its thickness direction due to its network structure.[26][27]
  • Several types of origami folds like the Diamond-Folding-Structure (RFS), the herringbone-fold-structure (FFS) or the miura fold,[28][29] and other periodic patterns derived from it.[30][31]
Production of auxetic metamaterials through the introduction of patterned microstructural cuts using direct laser cutting. The thin rubber surface with perforated architecture covers a spherical surface (orange)[32]
  • Tailored structures designed to exhibit special designed Poisson's ratios.[33][34][35][36][37][38]
  • Chain organic molecules. Recent researches revealed that organic crystals like n-paraffins and similar to them may demonstrate an auxetic behavior.[39]
  • Processed needle-punched nonwoven fabrics. Due to the network structure of such fabrics, a processing protocol using heat and pressure can convert ordinary (not auxetic) nonwovens into auxetic ones.[40][41]
  • Cork has an almost zero Poisson's ratio. This makes it a good material for sealing wine bottles.
