We report here structures, constructed with regular polygonal prisms, that exhibit negative Poisson's ratios. In particular, we show how we can construct such a structure with regular <i>n</i>-gonal prism-shaped unit cells that are again built with regular <i>n</i>-gonal component prisms. First, we show that the only three possible values for <i>n</i> are 3, 4 and 6 and then discuss how we construct the unit cell again with regular <i>n</i>-gonal component prisms. Then, we derive Poisson's ratio ...[more]
