Table 3.
Type of Auxetic Structures | Application in Bone Implants | Advantages and Disadvantages | References |
---|---|---|---|
Re-entrant | Bone-implant contact; medical screw | Good NPR effect; longer fatigue life | [22,24] |
Chiral | Bone scaffold; medical screw | High fracture toughness; limited by chirality | [24] |
Rotating | Auxetic materials fabrication; medical screw | Better auxetic performance; low stability | [24] |
