This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Mechanical metamaterials are materials that emulate mechanical properties through structuring at smaller size-scales.
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)

Many unusual properties are possible.
