Auxetic materials, possessing a negative poisson's ratio, can be arranged in various geometric configurations, such as tubular structures. Unlike conventional materials, which contract in lateral dimensions when stretched longitudinally, auxetic tubular expands in response to applied forces. This review article amalgamates the latest experimental data and insights from preceding scholarly works, offering a detailed analysis of the structural design, fabrication processes, and mechanical characteristics of auxetic tubular structures. The review encompasses an analysis of their tensile properties, comparative evaluations with different materials, impact resistance, enhanced bending, and flexibility. Furthermore, the article explores the wide-ranging applications of auxetic tubular in diverse sectors such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, medicine, and textiles. Additionally, investigated not only new suggestions and future considerations for the advancement of these materials and structures but also a rigorous examination of the forthcoming and new challenges. This multifaceted approach distinguishes it from prior studies within the same scientific domain.

“…Many studies used these structures to fabricate weft knitted fabrics with NPR. 65–70 AKF has advantages of high structural variability, high materials adaptability, high productivity, and huge potential for industrial applications. The yarn type (raw materials), loop length, course density, machine parameters (take-down load), and type of auxetic structure are the most important influencing parameters of auxetic behavior of AKF.…”

Auxetic behavior is a promising new area for use in defense applications. In comparison to a conventional material, an auxetic material has superior properties because of having a negative Poisson’s ratio; it gets broadened when stretched or becomes smaller when compressed. Furthermore, auxetic materials have enhanced properties such as shear resistance, indentation resistance, fracture toughness, energy absorption, and so on. These improved properties make auxetic materials very appealing and have the potential to revolutionize their applications in aerospace, sports, automotive, construction, biomedical engineering, smart sensors, packaging, cushioning, air filtration, shock absorption and sound insulation, and defense personal protective equipment. This article examines the most recent scientific advances in auxetic materials and structures, such as auxetic textiles (fibers, yarns, and fabrics), auxetic textile-reinforced composites, and auxetic foams, as well as their exceptional auxetic behavior and various approaches to achieving them. Although many potential applications have been proposed, actual applications of auxetic materials in defense are still limited. This is an in-depth review article, and its main goal is to serve as a foundation for future studies concerning the topic.

This paper proposes the use of digital knitting to fabricate three-dimensional stretchable fabric with transformative properties. The research focus is on the application of the curling effect and the resultant stitch structures. Rib, purl, and links structures, which have alternating face and back loops in the structural knit cell and produced the curling effect, are investigated. Thirty-six samples based on the three structures along with 12 different stitch combinations are produced through the digital knitting process. The properties of the samples, including the dimensional changes, surface texture, weight and thickness, and tensile properties, are subsequently evaluated and compared by using both quantitative and qualitative assessment methods. The results show that the developed knitted fabrics that use the curling effect through alternating face and back loops are significantly three-dimensional in surface texture and have considerable stretchability. These effects in general increase with the growth of stitch number in a structural knit cell. However, only the links structures show considerable extensibility along both course and wale directions, while the rib and purl structures have enhanced stretchability in only the course and wale directions, respectively. Therefore, this design-led textile study provides a simple but effective means for producing new materials that offer both function and aesthetics for fashion with transformable designs. The work here also provides a technical-based integrated approach for innovative textile and fashion developments.
