Abstract Poisson’s ratio is the ratio of the transverse compressive strain in a material to the applied longitudinal tensile strain. Alternatively, it may be described as related to the principal off-diagonal element of the elastic stiffness matrix. It is a fundamental property that affects most aspects of the mechanical properties of materials including toughness, sound propagation, thermal shock and critical buckling failure. As such, any method that enables the manipulation of Poisson’s ratio is as likely to have important technological consequences as the many attempts to improve stiffness.
