ERI: Increasing the Fundamental Understanding of the Auxetic Behavior of Graphene Oxide Me — NSF Award to Union College (NY, $199,

When materials are stretched in one direction, it is typical that the dimensions in the other directions tend to decrease. However, some advanced materials, known as auxetic materials, exhibit a cross-sectional expansion that is perpendicular to the force applied during stretching. Auxetic materials are currently used

AbstractWhen materials are stretched in one direction, it is typical that the dimensions in the other directions tend to decrease. However, some advanced materials, known as auxetic materials, exhibit a cross-sectional expansion that is perpendicular to the force applied during stretching. Auxetic materials are currently used in applications such as body armor, packing materials, knee and elbow pads, and sponge mops. Graphene oxide membranes are identified with auxetic behavior, which make them excellen
