Auxetic Materials 2017-2018
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on "Auxetic Materials" is dedicated to recent advances in research and development of auxetic materials, as well as other negative materials, including, but not limited to, negative stiffness phases, negative compressibility materials, negative thermal expansion materials, and any other materials that possess interesting counter-intuitive properties. We invite you to submit research articles or reviews on the latest research work in these areas, with emphasis on applications in all areas of science and engineering.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers).
