Analytics for polymers and biopolymers

Our analytical services at a glance

The Fraunhofer IAP researches and develops novel polymer materials and process technologies for companies from different branches of industry.

A broad spectrum of analytical methods guarantees process control, material testing and routine analytics. But it also allows the investigation of chemical and physical structures and the examination of polymer properties, respectively. Therefore we possess extensive modern equipment. Methods can be newly developed and adapted on this basis. The excellent know-how of our specialists from synthesis and processing technology contributes considerably to the solution of analytical problems.

We are glad to compile an offer for you. Please have a look at our special application areas for your personal contact.
