iGii has created a carbon-based 3D foam with the benefits of graphene but is easier to produce for wider use.

Nanomaterial producer iGii has raised £8.8 million in new funding to accelerate growth.

The Stirling-based company, formerly known as Integrated Graphene, has developed Gii™, a 3D foam made from carbon atoms. It combines the desirable physical properties of graphene, such as sensitivity, flexibility and conductivity, without its scale-up and mass application challenges.
