We present a plan fora structure of rods, hinges, and springs which is isotropic in its macroscopic elastic properties, though anisotropic in the microscopic details of its structure, and has a negative Poisson's ratio p~ --1.

An auxetic material is one with a negative Poisson's ratio and has the property of widening when stretched or narrowing when compressed in contrast to conventional materials. Typical auxetic materials include modified polymeric foams (Lakes, 1987), regular honeycombs, polypropylene fibres and certai
Recent papers have discussed particular forms of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that exhibit large negative Poisson's ratios due to their complex microstructures. These consist of an open network of nodules interconnected by fibrils. Two
