Polymers Matter.
At the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF), we push the boundaries of materials science. Driven by bioinspiration, enriched by data science and translational expertise, we lay the foundations for advanced materials and systems to enable sustainability, healthcare, and information technologies. Located in one of Europe’s most dynamic research hubs, the IPF maintains strong partnerships with academia and actively pursues technology transfer.

The Association of Supporters of the IPF fosters cooperation between the IPF and its sponsors, friends and other organizations. It supports and honors excellent research at the institute and creates a close connection between research and industry on an international and national level.
