Discovery and development of materials with negative Poisson's ratio, also called auxetics, was first reported in the seminal work of Lakes in 1987 (Lakes, 1987).

Toward molecular auxetics: Main chain liquid crystalline polymers consisting of laterally attached
iMechanica - Comments Ajay B Harish 2010
-
Materials with negative Poisson's ratios (auxetics) exhibit the property of expanding laterally when uniaxially stretched and becoming narrower when compressed.
iMechanica - Comments Lifeng Wang 2010
-
Indentation. since auxetic material underneath a point load (in compression) will tend tomove inwards towards the line of compression rather than away form it as with a PPR material, the resistance to indentation tends to be higher and different with auxetics.
