  New smart plastics could harness unusual properties of auxetic materials

  New advances in 3D printed ‘smart’ plastics with unusual deformation properties could lead to a new generation of materials designed to monitor their own condition in real time. An international team led by engineers from the University of Glasgow are behind the development, which could lead to applications in everything from medical implants to impact-resistant vehicle structures.
