(1) Reviewed by the Philadelphia section of the Society of Plasitcs Engineers, USA, in Philadelphia Plastics Press, Nov. 2000 - "... this paper describes how an arrangement of squares can lead to auxetic behaviour. ... I expect to see several new patents from the Philadelphia Section members two to ten years from now because of this important revelation."
