delivery, cosmetics, artificial blood vessels (3D printing)

The Fraunhofer IAP in Potsdam-Golm, Germany, offers a broad range of research on polymers. We work on biobased and synthetic polymers that meet the growing demands of our partners. The end products are becoming more durable and stable, more acid and heat resistant, easier to care for, healthier, more environmentally-friendly, more cost-effective ... as well as easier and more energy efficient to manufacture.

We develop innovative and sustainable materials, processes and products that are specifically tailored to the application’s requirements. We also create conditions which ensure that the developed methods not only work on a laboratory scale, but also under production conditions.

APPLICATION FIELDS | plastics industry, lightweight construction, aerospace, automotive, electronics, optics, security technology, energy technology, textile industry, packaging, environmental and waste water technology, paper, construction and paint industries, medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics, biotechnology
