Negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) foams have been predicted to have unusual acoustic properties. To measure these, polyurethane foam was chosen to serve as a model system. Negative Poisson ratios were produced in open cell, reticulated polyurethane foams by heat setting the foam which had been three-di

and growth of the metal nanoclusters preferentially occur. Consequently, the size of the resulting nanoparticles matches the dimension of the nanometer-sized cavities inside these swollen domains. The possibility of controlling the growth of the metal nanoclusters by changing the morphological featu
