Direct Observation of Biaxial Nematic Order in Auxetic Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Auxetic materials exhibit a negative Poisson’s ratio, i.e., they become thicker rather than thinner in at least one dimension when strained. Recently, a nematic liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) was shown to be the first synthetic auxetic material at a molecular level. Understanding the mechanism of th...
