When it comes to innovation in conductive textiles and foams, Eeonyx Corporation is second to none. In business since 1995, the California-based research and design team has developed a line of conductive textile products with military and commercial applications as wide-ranging as aeronautics, healthcare, sports, fashion, electronics, home décor, meteorology and HazMat. And that's just for starters.
Dedicated to custom-designing to suit their customers' specific needs, Eeonyx Corporation has revolutionized the very stuff that stuff is made of. In the Eeonyx universe, it’s a material world, and far from being base and inert, material is now smart.

It senses, it conducts, it protects. It receives information and repels unwanted vibes. It helps you run faster. It feels your pain.
It can be anti-static, anti-ballistic, anti-bacterial, fire-retardant, radar absorbing, flameproof, and heat-resistant.
And far from being the stuff that future dreams are made of, conductive textile and foam are already here and now, all around you, all the time.
HOT HOT HOT
Feeling a chill in the O.R.? Before you pass out, ask the anesthetist for a Hot Dog. The blanket, I mean. Instead of mustard and peppers, it has a paper-thin layer of conductive textile tucked inside to keep those parts of you that aren't to be surgically removed nice and warm.
Prior to Eeonyx's innovation, hospitals relied mainly on rattle-y old electricity-guzzling forced-air warming blankets or on heavy, bulky and uncomfortable insulated blankets. If you weren't being blasted by hot air, you were being crushed under the weight of coiled wires. But not any more. Augustine Biomedical and Design teamed up with Eeonyx to R & D the Hot Dog as a conductive textile designed specifically to suit their [and our] medical needs.
As a blanket, the Hot Dog is remarkably simple. No forced air, no wires, just a wafer-thin conductive textile nestled inside another conductive textile. It's light, the heat is uniform, and it's 80% more energy-efficient. What's there not to love?
COOL COOL COOL
And now that you're feeling better, would you like to slip into something more comfortable? How about a chameleon body suit that changes color according to your body temperature? Or touch-sensitive gloves? Or a custom-made bomb suit?
These and other conductive textile clothing options are not science fiction. Eeonyx Corporation has time warped us into a future that's here, now, and oh so cool [or hot, depending on your mood].
While pressure sensors have been around for decades, they are usually very slow and highly location sensitive. In contrast, Eeonyx's conductive textile is itself the sensor – even the slightest of touches changes the current pattern.
The applications for this technology are limited only by imagination, budget and lifespan. Piano teachers are already using the touch-sensitive gloves to track the finger movements of their students, giving a whole new meaning to tickling the ivories….
