Advanced engineering materials company Versarien has announced a collaboration with a US footwear manufacturer.
Founded in an engineer's garage in Cheltenham, Versarien creates commercially viable products from graphene, a material made from a single layer of carbon atoms, for the automotive, clothing, biomedical and aerospace sectors.
Last year the company announced a partnership with fashion brand and fellow Gloucestershire firm Superdry to produce garments designed to have lower environmental impact on creation.
