Abstract
Metamaterials are engineered materials with properties usually not seen in nature. This paper reviews the authors work in the field of metamaterial design by the topology optimization method. Examples include the optimization of elastic materials with negative Poisson's ratio and thermal expansion coefficient, electromagnetic band gap materials and electromagnetic metamaterials with negative permittivity.
