“…compression) in the direction transverse to the load [1]. Such materials have gained considerable interest from the scientific community over the last decade thanks to their potential applications as stents [2], orthopedic bone plates [3] or skin grafts [4] in medicine, as energy absorbers in sports [5] or crashworthiness situations [6,7], as high sensitivity sensors [8,9], or as highly tunable molecular sieves [10]. The archetype of the auxetic structure is the re-entrant honeycomb network, thanks to its peculiarly designed porosity [6,[11][12][13].…”
