ABSTRACT = {Over the last three decades, there has been considerable interest in the captivating mechanical
properties displayed by auxetic materials, highlighting the advantages stemming from their
distinct negative Poisson's ratio. The negative Poisson's ratio observed in auxetic polymeric
materials is a result of the distinctive geometries of their unit cells. These unit cells, encompassing
structures such as chiral, re-entrant, and rotating rigid configurations, are carefully engineered
to collectively generate the desired auxetic behaviour. This comprehensive review article explores
the field of auxetic polymeric materials, offering a detailed exploration of their geometries,
fabrication methods, mechanical properties, and characterisation. The diverse applications of
these materials in impact/ballistic, acoustic, automotive, biomedical, sports, shape memory,
strain sensors, electromagnetic shielding, smart filters, and rehabilitation fields are thoroughly
examined. Furthermore, the article emphasises the significance of auxetic behaviour in enhancing
mechanical performance while shedding light on the challenges and limitations associated with
large-scale fabrication of auxetic materials.},
