PRODUCTION AND STUDY OF POLYETHER AUXETIC FOAM
Keywords:
negative Poisson 's ratio, auxetic materials, open cell polyether foam, auxetic polymer foam, microscopic imagery, tensile testAbstract
The article describes the experiment consisting in production and study of auxetic open-cell polyether foam. In the introduction I briefly explain what auxetic materials are and list their main properties together with possible application areas. Next, detailed information about the background of the experiment is given: important material characteristics and extensive description of the procedure. Further, discussion of the results is presented, basing on microscopic imagery of the obtained auxetic foam. The article describes also tensile tests performed on the produced material and cites quantitative results in the form of text and graphs illustrating the Poisson ratio dependence on deformation, as well as stress-strain relations (true and engineering values). In the final part of the article conclusions are enclosed.Downloads
