“…The former expands transversely when stretched longitudinally 1–10 while the latter shrinks with increasing temperature 11–20. The auxetic phenomenon is caused by re‐entrant structures 6, 21, chiral structures 22, 23, rotating units 24–29, angle‐ply laminates 2, 30, rigid free molecules (e.g., hexamers) 31–37, microporous polymers 3, 38, and liquid crystalline model 39, 40, to name a few. The NTE behavior has so far been elucidated by low phonon modes 41, 42 ferroelectric phase transition 43, libration 44–46, rigid unit modes 47–52, and phase transition 53–56, among others.…”
