auxetic
Auxetic refers to a property of materials that have a negative Poisson's ratio. This means when these materials are stretched, they become thicker perpendicular to the applied force. This unusual behavior makes auxetic materials excellent for applications like body armor, packing material, knee and elbow pads where absorbance of energy and resistance to deformation are beneficial.
