Graphene-enhanced rubber & foam for ‘no compromise’ running shoes

Graphene & 2D Materials: End Users, Applications, Major Producers & Start Ups 2021

13 April 2021

Online

TechBlick Platform

In this talk, we will first present the science behind how graphene can enhance the mechanical properties of elastomers like rubbers, and also foams. We will then talk about how inov-8 have pioneered the use of graphene-enhanced rubber in their Graphene-Grip outsoles, and graphene-enhanced foams in their G-Fly midsoles. These deliver uncompromising and world-leading performance in inov-8s’ running, hiking and fitness footwear, which are now sold both online and in high-street stores all over the world. These shoes have won numerous Editor’s Choice awards and powered athletes to competition successes and world records.
