| Abstract: | A series of polyphenylacetylene networks are predicted to exhibit the not so common property of a near-zero Poisson's ratio, a property which is highly desirable in various practical applications. This behaviour is explained qualitatively in terms of a simple honeycomb model involving flexure, hinging and/or stretching of acetylene chains. |
