Large Molecules - Great Ideas

Fundamental and applied polymer research, powered by bioinspiration, data science, and translational expertise for resource conservation, health, and information technologies

New challenges in the sectors of energy, mobility, health, sustainability, and communication require new technologies and materials. Polymers offer unique opportunities to design materials and to enable innovative technologies. At the IPF, researchers of different disciplines work closely together to exploit this fascinating potential. As a member of the Leibniz Association, the institute is doing application-oriented basic research. The IPF is involved in the DRESDEN-concept network and in numerous national and international co-operations. >> More
