Inov-8 harnesses graphene for enhanced foam material

Scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, who characterised graphene in 2004, are based at the University of Manchester. Inov-8 used a graphene-enhanced rubber for grip in 2018.

Dr Aravind Vijayaraghavan, a reader in nanomaterials at The University of Manchester, said: “This is the next major step in our highly successful partnership with inov-8. Building on the global success of Graphene-Grip rubber, we are excited to extend the superlative properties of graphene to the foam of the next generation of inov-8 shoes.”
