“…Generally, PU foams are inserted into the mold, biaxial or triaxial compressed, heated above the softening temperature, and then cooled to room temperature for fabricating foams with auxetic behavior in stretching. [94][95][96][97]150] This process is capable of developing the common open-cell voids into re-entrant shape. There are also studies on the preparation of auxetic copper and silicone foams using this technique.…”

“…The hot‐compression method is the most common method of the fabrication of auxetic foams made from conventional PU foams. Generally, PU foams are inserted into the mold, biaxial or triaxial compressed, heated above the softening temperature, and then cooled to room temperature for fabricating foams with auxetic behavior in stretching . This process is capable of developing the common open‐cell voids into re‐entrant shape.…”

“…[92] Subsequently, many researchers adopted the biaxial or triaxial hot-compression method to fabricate auxetic polyurethane (PU) foam from conventional PU foam. [93][94][95][96][97] The microstructures of conventional and auxetic PU foams are shown in Figure 14. Several experiments have been conducted to verify that the auxetic PU foam was stiffer than conventional PU foam at a larger strain [93] and had better performance in damping and dynamic crushing performance.…”

Auxetic mechanical metamaterials (AMMs), as an exciting paradigm of metamaterials, have attracted increasing attention due to their interesting mechanical properties (e.g. negative Poisson's ratio), as well as the emergence of advanced manufacturing technology (e.g. 3D printing). Although various reviews on AMMs, their structures, properties, and applications, have existed, it still lacks a comprehensive review in terms of manufacturing methods. Herein, the latest progress in AMMs is extensively reviewed, including AMMs' structures, characteristics, manufacturing methods, and applications. In addition, the current challenges and future works of AMMs are concluded and discussed. This Review aims to serve as a collection of knowledge that supplies more comprehensive understanding and inspiration to support further developments of AMMs from the perspective of design and manufacturing.

The uniaxial tension experiments are performed on thermoplastic polyurethane to investigate its mechanical behaviors and related potential mechanisms, and the loading strain rate is designing to be wide ranging from 0.0001 to 1 s −1 . It is found that the polyurethane presents an obvious rate-dependence, and the stress strain curves share distinct strain hardening characteristics under the investigated strain rates. Furthermore, the strain hardening ratios are sharing nearly same trends and appear to be influenced by both strain rate and the induced adiabatic heating. Besides, the ratio is also strain-dependent on previous loading history. Then, a two-dimension unit cell model is built to investigate potential equivalent mechanisms, of which the hard phase as inclusion is equivalent with crystallization zone, crosslinking sites, and so forth. The simulation results facilitate to explain the distinct strain hardening ratios, even for the matrix from the extrapolated curves under super-low strain rate loading. Finally, the analogic mechanisms of equivalent hard inclusions are proposed, which can reasonably explain the strain rate-and strain-dependence characteristics of polyurethane mechanical behaviors.

Life‐changing illnesses and fatalities caused by inefficient personal protective clothing and equipment are increasing day by day. The discrepancy between the test standards, environmental conditions, and infield collision is the reason why personal protection equipment and clothing have not yet decreased the number of injuries in various fields such as military and sports. To further increase the efficiency of personal protection materials, auxetic materials are suggested because of their high energy absorption, good permeability, form‐fitting ability, and high indentation resistance. Auxetic materials are nonconventional materials with a negative Poisson's ratio and can shrink under compression and expand when subjected to stretching. In comparison to nonauxetic conventional materials, auxetic materials have improved properties that can be useful for personal protection applications. This review focuses on the importance of auxetic materials for personal protection, focusing on reducing the chances of injury and what possible ideas can further benefit the protection products. The first part of the review discusses the auxetic structures and their protection applications followed by the fabrication of auxetic structures. The review will conclude with limitations, economic prospects, and what possible work can further improve the potential use of auxetic materials in personal protection.
