Joint research project – practical and efficient

Joint research project – practical and efficient

We carry out projects in close cooperation with partners from industry and business. Our aim is to apply scientific findings to practical issues and to bridge the gap between basic research and industrial development. This generates knowledge that will strengthen your own research and development in a sustainable way.

As a partner, you provide the funding, while we take care of management, implementation, organization of project meetings, and reporting.

Your advantages in a joint research project:

  • Cost-efficient implementation through joint financing
  • New contacts and stronger networks
  • Cross-industry exchange across disciplinary boundaries
  • Further training for your employees

New projects, research successes... Would you like to receive active updates from Fraunhofer LBF?

We are your collaboration partner for joint industrial research projects

The Plastics Division of the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF can look back on almost 60 years of experience in plastics research. Its R&D activities cover processes along the entire value chain, from chemical synthesis, characterization, formulation, processing, and testing to the recycling of plastics. Flame retardancy has been a key area of research and work for many years. As part of government-funded and industry-financed projects, new, sustainable flame retardants and formulations for thermoplastics, thermosets, and composites are continuously being developed, especially those for engineering plastics.

All meetings and discussions relating to a project, information exchanged with participating partners, and the results collected as part of a project are confidential and subject to secrecy.
