Fairs and events

Visit us at the international trade fair and conference for printed electronics LOPEC in Munich and learn more about our latest developments in OPV, OLED and QD.

At the JEC World trade fair in Paris, researchers from the Polymer Materials and Composites PYCO research division will present their developments.

At interpack from May 4 to 10, we will present a SmartID demonstrator for the first time

Our team will present our latest innovations: printed Quantum Dot (QD) LED displays with a resolution of up to 7 micrometer, low-cadmium QDs with very bright colors as well as indium phosphide quantum dots that absorb blue light much more effectively.

After a long dry spell of abstinence from face-to-face meetings, the 14th International Workshop on Polymer Reaction Engineering will take place in Potsdam in September 2023 in presence. Usually held every three years, this international workshop is a prestigious platform for experts to share their latest findings, as well as a knowledge pool for young professionals who want to gain a broad foundation or present their own work.

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.

With the motto "Teaming up for solutions" we would like to inform you about current activities on the DESY campus in Hamburg in the fields of BioMed, Life and Health and discuss current industrial challenges with you. Get to know the research and service opportunities of the Fraunhofer Institutes IAP and ITMP, DESY as well as the campus partners EMBL and HEREON and lets develop solution strategies together how we can further strengthen your company or institute.

At Medica, you will get information about our functionalized polymers for biomedicine and medical technology, for example for the development of implants. We will present a 3D-printed chamber for tissue cultivation that can be implanted under the skin as well as an artificial cornea. We also present the SmartID project. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a counterfeit-proof barcode system that can be used to authenticate products simply by smartphone without accessing a database.

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.

Visit the Fraunhofer Hydrogen Network booth B67 in Hall 11 at the European Hydrogen Week from November 20-23, 2023 in Brussels for an informative exchange about our know-how in the field of hydrogen. Together with seven Fraunhofer Institutes, we will present innovations and solutions for the sustainable energy supply of the future, including R&D services for the development and testing of catalysts for electrolysis and fuel cells.

Are you active in chemistry, biotechnology, polymer synthesis or polymer processing and would like to exchange ideas on challenges, opportunities and practical methods of sustainable chemistry? Would you like to transfer your processes from the laboratory to an industrial scale? Then visit the Fraunhofer Technology Day "Scale up Green Chemistry NOW!"
