Inside the Project - The future of materials: graphene and the world’s first programmable jacket, In 2018, pioneering clothing company Vollebak created the world’s first graphene jacket. Built with graphene, a material only one atom thick yet stronger than steel, the jacket could regulate heat, redistribute warmth and remain lightweight, waterproof and breathable. Working with the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester, Vollebak has since gone further. Together, they are developing the Thermal Camouflage Jacket, a programmable garment designed to make its wearer...
