    Background:

    • Conventional materials exhibit a positive Poisson's ratio, contracting laterally under tensile strain.
    • Understanding auxetic materials with negative Poisson's ratios is crucial for advanced applications.
    • Existing auxetic materials often face challenges in scalability or specific performance metrics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel foam structure with a negative Poisson's ratio.
    • To demonstrate the unique deformation behavior of this auxetic foam.
    • To explore potential applications of materials with inverse deformation characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a unique foam architecture.
    • Mechanical testing under tensile load.
