We work on pioneering solutions for society and industry in seven research areas. We use a holistic approach that combines extensive know-how in polymer research with expertise in engineering, materials technology, nanotechnology and biotechnology. Together, we develop concepts to make products more sustainable, improve manufacturing processes and advance technologies.
Biopolymers
Lignocellulose | Starch Modification / Molecular Properties | Fiber Technology | Material Development and Structure Characterization | Processing Pilot Plant for Biopolymers Schwarzheide
Resin Formulation and Characterization | Thermosets for Lightweight Applications | Radiation and Rapid Curing Systems | Resin Synthesis and Semi-finished Components
The High-Performance Center Integration of Biological and Physical-Chemical Material Functions in the Potsdam Science Park combines knowledge and expertise for the functional integration of materials. It organizes the collaboration between university and non-university research and industry in the Federal states of Brandenburg and Berlin. Discover integration technologies for life science, lightweight construction, architecture, optics and energy.
“Functional materials offer solutions for many types of applications in the areas of health, transportation, energy, communication and the environment.”
Networking and exchange are important elements of successful research. The Fraunhofer IAP cooperates with Fraunhofer Institutes from different areas in the strategic research field of bioeconomy, in networks and alliances of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. In Fraunhofer Flagship Projects, we also develop concrete solutions for the benefit of Germany as a business location.
