Inteltex Consortium

So it looks like there is yet another consortium for Smart Textiles in Europe -- not sure what affiliation this has with some of its predecessors, but anyway it is called "Inteltex."



I suggest checking out the website -- let me know if you can find anything in the way of results or at least project descriptions, etc. There appear to be a number of partner companies and universities involved in the consortium that appears to be broken out by nano/materials specialists, fiber/yarn manufacturers, and textile companies.



However, one of the most interesting things I found on the website was the consortium's video. At first the video looks to be nothing more than a powerpoint slide-show, but toward the end they show some pretty good clips of processing capabilities: fiber extrusion, fiber webs, needle-punch nonwovens, and electrospinning.

Please let us know if you have any further info on the projects being pursued under this consortium...
