Abstract :The technology aims to respond to ever-increasing needs day by day is in a progressing development. One of the basic and most important components of technology is material. Nowadays, as an alternative to conventional engineering materials, multi-functional new generation competitive materials are obtained by adding new features to existing materials or developing new materials in order to meet the demands of the present and future. In this respect, the negative Poisson’s ratio (auxetic) materials are one of the most widespread research subjects recently. The auxetic structure and materials, originally found in nature, have been observed to separate from traditional (positive Poisson’s ratio) materials with various mechanical properties, mainly deformation mechanisms, thanks to their unique microstructures. In this study, auxetic feature is investigated and researches for adaptation of the auxetic feature to various science and technology fields are compiled.Keywords : Auxetic Structures and Materials, Deformation Mechanism, Negative Poisson’s Ratio, Smart Materials
