The book discusses the beneficial properties of auxetic structures in textiles and how to translate those benefits into actual materials development. Sections cover the deformation mechanism of textile structures to achieve auxetic behavior and the modelling and simulation of auxetic textile structures. Finally, the book provides expert insights into potential application areas.
Cutting across textiles disciplines, from technical textiles and advanced composites, to fashion and design, the book is a valuable introduction to the field for newcomers, with potent insights into the potential of these materials.
- Introduces the concept of auxetic materials and their differences from conventional materials
- Provides a practical guide to the mechanics of achieving auxetic properties in textile materials, including polymers, fibers, yarns, fabrics and composites
- Reviews and links up research and development in auxetic materials with the textile industry, helping enable the development of a range of new applications
Materials scientists and engineers involved in the manufacture of advanced/ functional technical textile materials. Industrial professionals in applications development with textile materials. Researchers of auxetic materials
