Abstract
Auxetic foams counter-intuitively expand (shrink) under stretching (compression). These foams can exhibit superior mechanical properties such as resistance to shear and indentation, improved toughness and energy absorption (EA) under several types of loadings. Their unique deformation mechanism and manufacturing process lead to special multiphysics properties such as variable permeability, synclastic curvature and shape memory. Except for traditional energy absorber stuff, the potential applications of auxetic foams have involved biomedicine, aerospace, smart sensing, etc. However, most of the potential applications are restrained in the theoretical stage due to complicated fabrication and a deficiency of stability. For removing the barrier for practical application, a series of issues remain to be resolved, though the explorations of the manufacture methodologies and potential applications are fruitful in the past decades. We present here a review article discussing the state-of-the-art for manufacturing, characterization and applications of auxetic foams. We also provide a view of the existing challenges and possible future research directions, aiming to state the perspective and inspire researchers to further develop the field of auxetic foams.
