Structure-Property Relations in Foam Materials With NegativePoisson's Ratios

在早期的实验中发现了一种整体负泊松比和高回弹性的新型泡沫材料。这个概念是基于发展的可进入的墙壁或边缘在个别泡沫单位通过简单的操作一个规则的泡沫。将概念扩展到各种聚合物和金属材料，并将检查结构，加工和性能之间的关系，以便开发变形图并确定潜在的应用领域。

A new class of foam materials which exhibits overall negative Poisson's ratio and high resilience has been developed in early experiments. The concept is based on developing re- entrant walls or edges in the individual foam units by simple manipulation of a regular foam. Extension of the concept to various polymeric and metallic materials will be explored and the relationships between structure, processing, and properties will be examined in order to develop deformation maps and determine potential areas of application.
