Abstract (en)

A paper machine includes a clothing carried by a plurality of rolls. At least one of the rolls is movable to exert a selected tension load on the clothing. The clothing includes auxetic fibers. By moving one of the rolls to exert a selected tension and/or press load on the clothing, a thickness of the auxetic fibers is modified to become thinner under a lesser load or thicker under a greater load.
