Current research projects

The joint project "MoBiLe" is researching the product protection properties and simultaneous recyclability of transparent high-barrier films.

The ZeroF project is developing safe and sustainable coatings to replace PFAS compounds in the value chain of food packaging and cushioning textiles.

The CircEl-Paper project is developing paper-based electronics with high integration density to replace conventional printed circuit boards, facilitate recycling and increase the return rate of electronic products. To achieve this, the project will build on the circular economy for paper products accepted by consumers, into which the recycling loop for paper-based electronics will be integrated.

The INN-PRESSME joint project, funded by the European Union with around 14 million euros, was launched three years ago. The aim of the 27 project partners from nine European countries is to establish a Europe-wide ecosystem for the development and production of plant-based, recyclable, and/or biodegradable packaging, energy, and transportation solutions, as well as consumer goods.

SYMPHONY aims for the development of new materials for low-cost and scalable printing and structuring processes to fabricate multimodal Energy Harvesting solutions based on the ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE) as well as printed energy storage devices and rectifiers not using rare elements and heavy metals.
