The department "Functional Materials" at Fraunhofer IPA has been conducting research and development on functional materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene since 2000.
With the mission to shorten the development time of new products and/or services as well as to enhance customers' international competitiveness, our researchers offer the optimal solution for each customer.
In order to conduct research and development toward commercialization, we - among other things - analyse the needs of the industry in advance and apply easily up-scalable production methods. We also promote to build up global networks with experts and industry partners, in which we can enhance the strength of each other and work together as an open innovation.
