Coincident Molecular Auxeticity and Negative Order Parameter in a Liquid Crystal Elastomer
Devesh Mistry, Simon D. Connell, Stuart L. Micklethwaite +3
"Auxetic" materials have the counter-intuitive property of expanding rather than contracting perpendicular to an applied stretch, formally they have negative Poisson's Ratios (PRs)…
