abstract = {Lattice thermal conductivity (κ) of bulk materials usually increases under compression and decreases under tension, while there are still some unusual systems, exhibiting reduced κ when compressed. However, to date it has never been reported for a bulk material, whose κ is substantially enhanced under tensile strain. In this paper, we have studied thermal transport of three auxetic carbon crystals: cis-C, trans-C and hin-C for short, and their strain responses by performing first-principles calculations. It is intriguing to find that their κ are much lower than those of their allotropes, and further decrease abnormally under compression. More strikingly, κ of trans-C (cis-C) anomalously increases with tensile strain up to 7% (6%) with maximum κ of almost 7 (5) times larger than the unstrained value. The abnormal strain dependent κ are attributed to the dominant role of the enhancement of phonon lifetime under stretching, which can be further explained from the unique atomic structure of the main chain of polydiacetylene in trans-C and cis-C. The weakening of phonon anharmonicity is reflected by the enhancement of root mean-square displacement values. The reported giant augmentation of κ may inspire intensive research on auxetic carbon crystals as potential materials for emerging nanoelectronic devices.},

Fabricated using a similar method to that deployed for making writing paper, these buckypapers can have in-plane Poisson’s ratios changed from positive to negative, becoming auxetic, as multiwalled carbon nanotubes are increasingly mixed with single-walled carbon nanotubes. Essential structural features of the buckypapers are incorporated into the model: isotropic in-plane mechanical properties, nanotubes preferentially oriented in the sheet plane, and freedom to undergo stress-induced elongation by both angle and length changes. The expressions derived for the Poisson’s ratios enabled quantitative prediction of both observed properties and remarkable new properties obtainable by structural modification.},

abstract = {Most materials shrink laterally like a rubber band when stretched, so their Poisson's ratios are positive. Likewise, most materials contract in all directions when hydrostatically compressed and decrease density when stretched, so they have positive linear compressibilities. We found that the in-plane Poisson's ratio of carbon nanotube sheets (buckypaper) can be tuned from positive to negative by mixing single-walled and multiwalled nanotubes. Density-normalized sheet toughness, strength, and modulus were substantially increased by this mixing. A simple model predicts the sign and magnitude of Poisson's ratio for buckypaper from the relative ease of nanofiber bending and stretch, and explains why the Poisson's ratios of ordinary writing paper are positive and much larger. Theory also explains why the negative in-plane Poisson's ratio is associated with a large positive Poisson's ratio for the sheet thickness, and predicts that hydrostatic compression can produce biaxial sheet expansion. This tunability of Poisson's ratio can be exploited in the design of sheet-derived composites, artificial muscles, gaskets, and chemical and mechanical sensors.},
