| dc.description | The research work disclosed in this publication is partially funded by the Strategic Educational Pathways Scholarship (Malta). The scholarship is part-financed by the European Union – European Social Fund (ESF) under Operational Programme II – Cohesion Policy 2007–2013, ‘Empowering People for More Jobs and a Better Quality of Life’. This research has been carried out using computational facilities procured through the European Regional Development Fund, Project ERDF-080 ‘A Supercomputing Laboratory for the University of Malta’ (http:// www.um.edu.mt/research/scienceeng/erdf_080). | en_GB |
| dc.description.abstract | Auxetics exhibit the anomalous property of getting wider rather than thinner when uniaxially stretched, i.e. have a negative Poisson's ratio. This work presents the results of simulations performed on a number of hypothetical poly(phenylacetylene) networks which are meant to mimic the behaviour of rotating scalene triangles. It was shown that such systems do indeed exhibit a negative Poisson's ratio being as low as c. −1.2, i.e. lower than the c. −1 found in earlier systems. This negative Poisson's ratio is due to the relative rotation of nanoscopic units. | en_GB |
