Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP

The integration of innovative materials into components and products is a key to the energy transition and the evolution of new mobility concepts.

Intelligent insulating materials and glazing reduce the energy requirements of buildings. Novel fiber composites for wind power, hydrogen storage and vehicle construction open up new options for energy generation and more efficient mobility. New catalysts and membranes for fuel cells enable hydrogen as a climate-neutral energy source.

We develop essential building blocks for the solutions of the future.

From arteries to wrist: For new active ingredients, products and processes for medicine, medical technology and cosmetics, we offer individual solutions from a single source.                            

Based on novel nanomaterials and biomolecules, we develop e.g. biosensors, diagnostic methods and therapies. We are also addressing new approaches for controlling pathogens on surfaces and in air filters.

Our interdisciplinary approach combines polymer research, biotechnology and nanotechnology for an improved quality of life.

To protect our employees and their families during the Corona
pandemic as much as possible,
we are currently working mainly from home.

We can still be reached by phone and email and are
keeping our research operations
running as smoothly as possible. We apologize if there are any
limitations or delays.

Stay healthy!
