  • Materials with negative Poisson's ratios (auxetics) exhibit the property of expanding laterally when uniaxially stretched and becoming narrower when compressed.

  • Indentation. since auxetic material underneath a point load (in compression) will tend tomove inwards towards the line of compression rather than away form it as with a PPR material, the resistance to indentation tends to be higher and different with auxetics.
