AB - Material with negative Poisson's ratio is a kind of new structural material with special physical properties
and geometric structure, which undergoes a transverse expansion when stretched in longitudinal direction
and a transverse contraction when compressed. Compared with common textile materials, auxetic
textile materials are significantly different in terms of thier structures and properties. Thereof, reviews
on auxetic materials of foam, polymer and textile materials were investigated, and the mechanism
of the dilation property was analyzed and obtained in this paper. It is found that these auxetic
materials are dependent on the microstructures with reentrant structures or rotating structures. The
analysis of the structure of materials with negative Poisson's ratio can contribute to the new textile
material technology and new functional textile products, such as magnetic-shielding fabrics and water-
repellent/wind-proof fabrics. It is also helpful in infrastructure, aerospace engineering, biomedical
engineering and environmental engineering.
