Topological characteristics and mechanical properties of uniaxially thermoformed auxetic foam

We present here a simplified procedure to manufacture auxetic PU foam via a single direction thermoforming compression process applied to conventional (pristine) open cell foam samples. The auxetic foams produced here have a Poisson’s ratio ν21 ranging from −1 to 0 in the 1–2 plane and a tangent mod...
