Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF)

The IPF is one of the largest polymer research institutes in Germany and engaged in application-oriented fundamental research. Its facilities in a campus near the city centre of Dresden include state-of-the-art equipments up to pilot plants that allow research under industry-relevant conditions. Functional polymers and polymer materials are a driving force for the development of novel technologies and indispensable for innovative components and systems, e.g. in information and communication technology, medicine and health care as well as for power generation and storage within novel concepts for mobility and energy efficiency.
