The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Elastic constants of 3-, 4- and 6-connected chiral and anti-chiral honeycombs subject to uniaxial in-plane loading (2010, background): “Materials that show this effect are known as auxetic materials [2] and can have enhancements in a range of physical properties [3,4].”
Topology optimization for functionally graded cellular composites with metamaterials by level sets (2018, background): “Auxetic metamaterials are a special class of elastic materials that exhibit negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) [3, 4].”
A review on auxetic structures and polymeric materials (2010, background): “When an object hits an auxetic material and compresses it in one direction, the auxetic material also contracts laterally, that is, material ‘flows’ into the vicinity of the impact (Evans and Alderson, 2000).”
