In the last four to five years, the number of research articles published on auxetic enhancement of structural materials has more than tripled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/auxeticon25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/485\/2024\/06\/jb-qnsg8w3nHw4-unsplash-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/auxeticon25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/485\/2024\/06\/jb-qnsg8w3nHw4-unsplash-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/auxeticon25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/485\/2024\/06\/jb-qnsg8w3nHw4-unsplash-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/auxeticon25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/485\/2024\/06\/jb-qnsg8w3nHw4-unsplash-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/auxeticon25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/485\/2024\/06\/jb-qnsg8w3nHw4-unsplash-1536x1149.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/auxeticon25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/485\/2024\/06\/jb-qnsg8w3nHw4-unsplash-2048x1532.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe it is therefore important and timely to provide a forum to the global community involved in the investigation of auxetic materials in construction applications, and thus we are launching AUXETICON 2025, the first international conference on auxetic materials in construction.
