Filtration Properties of Auxetics with Rotating Rigid Units

Auxetic structures and materials expand laterally when stretched. It has been argued that this property could be applied in the design of smart filters with tunable sieving properties. This work analyses the filtration properties of a class of auxetic structures which achieve their auxeticity throug...
