This paper describes a modified manufacturing route involving a large change in density in auxetic negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) foams. Density change of auxetic foams after manufacturing is a common feature for this porous material. Samples of open cell PU–PE (i.e. the combination of polyurethane–polyethylene) foams with NPR are produced from two similar native materials using both the classical...
Shape memory is the property of a material to remember its original shape despite subsequent plastic deformation. The exposure to specific temperature profiles induces a shape memory effect on auxetic (negative Poisson’s ratio) foam specimens, returning them to their initial dimensions. This behaviour is a one-way effect, and it is a property of the polyurethane (PU) constituent of the foam. The foam...
