Abstract
This chapter introduces negative moisture expansion (NME), which is also known as negative hygroscopic expansion and negative swelling. A comparison is made between NME, negative thermal expansion (NTE), and negative compressibility (NC). Thereafter, the concepts of negative hygrothermal expansion (NHTE) and negative environmental expansion (NEE) are discussed.
