Elasto-static micropolar behavior of a chiral auxetic lattice (2012, methodology): “The last two characteristics are achieved with cellular solids with a re-entrant microstructure (Choi and Lakes, 1995; Gibson and Ashby, 1997; Lakes, 1991; Lakes and Witt, 2002), one with concave cells, and chirality (Grima et al., 2008; Prall and Lakes, 1997).”
Auxetic mechanical metamaterials (2017, unknown): “97 Unless this constraint is relaxed, only  ve such structures can exist: trichirals, anti-trichirals, tetra-chirals, anti-tetrachirals, and hexachirals.”

The transverse elastic properties of chiral honeycombs (2010, background): “Auxetic behaviour in honeycombs can be achieved via specific cell geometries, including centre-symmetric re-entrant bow tie shaped cells [4,12] which exhibit reflective and rotational symmetry, or by non centre-symmetric chiral cells [13–20],which have rotational symmetry but not reflective symmetry”
Smart metamaterials with tunable auxetic and other properties (2013, background): “Such structures include chirals [30–32], honeycombs [9], STAR systems [33], liquid crystalline polymers [34], dilating systems [35], rotating rigid triangles [16, 17], Kagome lattices [27] and quadrilaterals [11–15].”
A review on auxetic structures and polymeric materials (2010, background): “…al., 2005; Bornengo et al., 2005), rotating rigid/semi-rigid units (Ishibashi and Iwata, 2000; Vasiliev et al., 2002; Grima and Evans, 2000a, 2006; Grima et al., 2005a, 2005c, 2007, 2008), Liu and Hu 1053 angle-ply laminates (Milton, 1992; Hine, 1997), hard molecules (Wojciechowski et al., 1987,…”
Mechanical metamaterials associated with stiffness, rigidity and compressibility: a brief review (2017, background): “Such deformation can therefore result in ‘folding’ of the ligaments around the node when the honeycombs are subjected to compressive loading, and ‘unfolding’ when they are subjected to tensile loading, a behaviour that results in auxeticity [138].”
