Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a new product called GripBoost to extend the life of sports gloves. GripBoost is a quick-drying polymer gel that is applied to gloves to restore their tackiness after it wears down. The gel is biodegradable, non-toxic, and leaves no residue. It was created with the goal of helping athletes make that game-winning catch.

Researchers from The University of Maryland's
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department,
including Professor Srinivasa Raghavan, Ph.D.
candidates Kevin Diehn, Chanda Arya, Zach Rom, and
undergraduate student Karl Engel, teamed up with
former tight end for the UMD football team Matthew
Furstenburg and entrepreneur businessman Harry Geller
to develop a special material that would effectively
extend the durability of sports gloves. The invention,
GripBoost, is a quick-drying polymer-based gel, similar
in consistency to hand sanitizer, that is biodegradable
and non-toxic, leaves no residue after a catch, and meets
league requirements.

approach to extending the life and performance of
athletic gloves by restoring the “tackiness” to make that
game-winning catch. This new product, called
GripBoost, is a quick drying polymer-based gel.
