Events and fairs

How can we advance the energy transition? At HUSUM WIND, our team of the research division Polymer Materials and Composites PYCO will present customized lightweigth solutions. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity at HUSUM WIND! Visit our experts in hall 1 at booth 1B18 of Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg. We will be there!

Highlights, discoveries, research results and products from the capital region on the key topics of new foods and new materials in medicine - the annual site conference provides insight into current developments and creates the best opportunities to get to know the Potsdam Science Park community.

Visit us from October 17-21, 2023 at the international trade fair for plastics processing. Processing Pilot Plant for Biopolymers Schwarzheide, Fiber Technology and Pilot Plant Center PAZ will present new developments on the topic of biopolymers at the joint WFBB trade fair booth in Hall A6.

Shaping the future of electronics - additive, sustainable, flexible, hybrid, wearable, structural and 3D. We will be at TechBlick 2023 presenting our latest developments: exceptional color-stable quantum dots, inks for printed displays, display components, OLED displays as well as perovskite solar applications.

How can lightweight construction become circular and which materials can enable this development? What needs to be considered already during product development? Find out more at the online event "Fraunhofer CCPE compact: Materials for circularity in efficient lightweight design" on October 19, 2023 from 2 pm to 4 pm.

Natural materials and biopolymers are currently gaining importance in many areas. In some application fields of microcapsules (cleaning, cosmetic and agriculture), this trend is even more pronounced due to the restriction of the intentionally added microplastic. New materials and material combinations as well as suitable processes leading to the microcapsules with high biodegradability rate, good barrier properties and low cost are of very high relevance now. In order to be useful for microencapsulation, starting materials have to possess good solubility and/or dispersibility in an aqueous medium, yet at the end of the process, they have to assemble into water-insoluble barrier films enclosing droplets or particles of the encapsulated material.
