Abstract
to mechanical metamaterials and related systems with particular emphasis on auxetic systems. Such materials show counter-intuitive, negative behaviours. For example, auxetic materials exhibit negative Poisson’s ratios which mean that these systems get fatter rather than thinner when stretched. Due to the superior properties exhibited by these systems, their study and characterisation has experienced a signifi cant increase, particularly in the last decade, something which may be perceived from the always increasing number of publications and patents in these areas. In fact, this issue is the seventh in a series of special issues published in physica status solidi (b) dedicated to auxetic materials and related systems (see [1–6]).
