The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks to Michael Markesbery, co-founder and CEO at Solarcore and OROS Labs, about scientifically advanced thermal solutions. 

Materials technology brand Solarcore utilises the thermal advantages of Aerogel – the NASA-licensed material used to insulate spacecraft in the -450° F vacuum of space. The ultra-thin insulation provides maximum temperature control with minimal loft.

In episode 101 of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast, we speak with co-founder and CEO Michael Markesbery about how he is using Aerogel in different industries including outdoorwear. 

Markesbery speaks about the challenges and advantages of using Aerogel in textile manufacturing. 

He also touches on Solarcore’s impressive Series Bfunding round of US$22m. If you would like to learn more, please visit solarcore.tech and oroslabs.com.
