The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks with Stephen Bates, CEO of Rheon Labs.

RHEON is a dynamic material that is naturally soft and flexible - it absorbs ultra-high levels of energy by stiffening when subject to force. UK-based company Rheon Labs creates the material, which was born out of NASA and developed at Imperial College in London.

In this episode CEO Stephen Bates explains how the material has been developed, its impact and how it has been integrated in the textile and apparel industry. Bates describes how the material has been used in the sportswear sector, for example in sports bras.

Rheon also worked on Adidas’s sports kits for team GB, France and Ethiopia for the Paris 2024 Olympics - it featured on the legs, backs and busts. Within this episode, Bates further delves into the material’s potential in the sportswear category.

He also touches upon cross sector collaboration and the other sectors where we could see the material feature. To learn more please visit rheonlabs.com.
