{{stub}}

Mechanical metamaterials are materials that emulate mechanical properties through structuring at smaller size-scales. <br>
They are in contrast to optical metamaterials, electrical metamaterials and other non-mechanical metamaterials.

Known and existing cases of (passive) mechanical metamaterials are: 
* Chainmaiile
* Textiles
Future mechanical metamaterials based on [[gemstone like compounds]] (in particular based on [[base materials with high potential]])
* [[gemstone based metamaterial]]s

Many unusual properties are possible. <br>
