The Effect of Negative Poisson’s Ratio Polyurethane Scaffolds for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering Applications

Figure 1

Behaviour of positive Poisson’s ratio and negative Poisson’s ratio when subjected to tensile loading. The pores have a rounder shape (a), while in (b), the pore space is larger, giving rise to a negative Poisson’s ratio [11].
