Abstract :
Auxetic polymeric fibers have been produced
using a melt-spinning technique. The effect of the processing
parameters on the fibers has been examined. It was
found that the auxetic effect occurs over a very tight
temperature window with screw speed, take-off speed and
die geometry affecting homogeneity and auxeticity. This is
an important finding as it provides a method of producing
more homogeneous auxetic fibers with tailored values of
Poisson’s ratio.
