andage. Therefore, active (controlled contractive cuff) and passive (textiles with integrated<br />

electrodes) system will be developed and applied. Further, drug capsules with an enzyme-based<br />

on/off switch for release will be developed.<br />

2.9.2.12 Contex-T<br />

Contex-T is a European project dedicated to geotextiles. Within the scope of the project intelligent<br />

kinetic, scissor-like, structures are designed that serve as membranes for roof constructions.<br />

2.9.2.13 Inteltex<br />

Inteltex is like Lidwine an integrated project of the European Commission with a 50% participation of<br />

SMEs. The overall objective of the INTELTEX project is to develop a new approach to obtain<br />

intelligent multi-reactive textiles integrating nano-filler based Conductive Polymer Composite (CPC)fibres.<br />

The consortium will work on various scientific and technical activities, ranging from CPC<br />

synthesis, the control of carbon nanotube dispersion in polymers to fabrication of CPC fibres and<br />

textiles. In a subsequent step, the developed materials will be used in specific applications including<br />

protective clothing, anti-theft devices and textiles for buildings and health.<br />

2.9.2.14 Polytect<br />

The project is an integrated research project for SME partially funded by the European Community.<br />

The consortium of the Polytect project is working on polyfunctional technical textiles against natural<br />

hazards. The project aims at the development of multifunctional textile structures for application in<br />

construction for the retrofitting of masonry structures and earthworks [224].<br />
