    • Plant-based substance boosts eyelash growth

      Press release / November 09, 2016

      A new serum that promotes eyelash growth has been developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam-Golm. It is considerably less expensive than conventional eyelash sera, very well tolerated, and a purely natural product. Mine Kaya has received a SEPAWA award for the excellent research she conducted as part of her bachelor’s thesis.

      K 2016: From OLED encapsulation to plagiarism protection

      Press release / September 29, 2016

      © Fraunhofer IAP

      When ultra-thin transparent varnishes are applied onto transparent foil tapes, defects in the coating can now be made visible immediately during the coating process. This is possible thanks to an inline detection system that uses fluorescence dyes. The method has been developed by three institutes from the Fraunhofer Polymer Surfaces Alliance POLO®. High-tech applications, such as ultra-barrier films for OLEDs, benefit since the inline process control prevents production errors and avoids unnecessary complaints. The dye/camera system can also prove the authenticity of fluorescently labelled materials. The system will be presented at the plastics trade fair K 2016.

    • The Fraunhofer IAP expands research spectrum / 2016

      Novel biomaterials from proteins

      Press release / July 22, 2016

      © Fraunhofer IAP

      For nearly 25 years, biomaterials from renewable raw material have been a priority field of research at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam-Golm. Research to date has focused on plant-based raw materials such as cellulose, starch, and lignin. Now the researchers are also developing biomaterials from proteins. Two new departments are involved with this field.

      Lightweight Construction: Strategic collaboration between Fraunhofer IAP and TH Wildau

      Press release / July 15, 2016

      © Fraunhofer IAP

      On July 15, 2016, Dr. Simone Raatz (MdB/SPD), Deputy Chair of the Committee for Education, Research, and Technology Assessment, visited the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP at its Wildau site. She acquainted herself with the research group and the research professorship being jointly established by the IAP research division for Polymeric Materials and Composites (PYCO) and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (TH Wildau). Their collaboration will focus on more efficient production methods for lightweight materials, their recycling, and repair, e.g. for aerospace, the automotive industry, and wind power facilities.

    • Fraunhofer drives forward innovation in microencapsulation technology / 2016

      Washable microcapsules that protect against insects and infection

      Press release / June 10, 2016

      © Fraunhofer IAP

      The aim of the "Fraunhofer Technology Platform Microencapsulation TPM" is to give more visibility to microencapsulation technology and to take even better advantage of its versatile potential. The platform connects research institutions and companies that are active in the field of microencapsulation or are interested in this type of technology. It is jointly supported by the Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Polymer Research IAP (Potsdam-Golm) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT (Pfinztal), as well as the Fraunhofer Research Group "Particle Technology and Raw Material Innovation" at the Nuremberg Institute of Technology. Eight companies are currently participating in the project, including BASF, Clariant, Follmann, Lanxess, Lonza, the August Koehler Paper Mill and Symrise. On June 16, 2016 the very successful project will be extended for a seventh round and another two years.

    • Developing improved paints and varnishes more quickly

      Press release / June 01, 2016

      © Fraunhofer IAP

      Developing wall paints and varnishes presents a big challenge for manufacturers. One reason is that samples merely enable them to estimate what the dispersion behavior in the reaction container will be. By teaming up with PDW Analytics GmbH, Fraunhofer researchers are now for the first time able to monitor the production of paints, varnishes and adhesives continuously and in real time – allowing them to design more efficient processes.

    • LOPEC 2016: Printed electronics – from idea to series production

      Press release / April 06, 2016

      © Fraunhofer IAP | Till Budde

      The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam-Golm will present an industrial-scale pilot plant, which develops printed electronics according to customer specifications, at the LOPEC Exhibition for the Printed Electronics Industry in Munich from April 6 to 7, 2016. Ink-jet printing is used to produce organic solar cells or OLEDs on glass or film. Even inexpensive perovskite solar cells that currently measure only a few square millimeters can be scaled up to an industry-relevant scale. For the first time in Germany all of the organic and inorganic layers can be printed using just one facility - saving time and money.

    • Lightweight construction for aeronautics and transport: sustainably repairing and recycling CFRP components

      Press release / March 07, 2016

      © MEV Verlag

      High performance carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) have firmly established themselves in modern airplanes. Repairs, however, are very laborious and often even impossible. Most of the time, the entire component has to be replaced. The PYCO Research Division at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam, Germany, has developed a simple, cost-effective and energy-efficient way to make sustainable repairs. Moreover, entire components can be completely recycled in a process in which the expensive carbon fibers are reclaimed. Researchers will present their developments at JEC World in Paris from March 8 to 10, 2016 in Hall 5a, stand D52.
