About this programme

Polymer science – a key discipline enabling innovations in sustainable development Sustainable polymeric materials and system-integrated functional polymers play a key role in modern life and economy. Progress in polymer sciences is important for the following: Creating advanced materials for sustainable developments Enabling high resource and energy efficiency Protecting climate, environment and human health Rendering high-tech products available to everybody In contrast to conventional materials, polymers combine: Low carbon footprint with attractive eco-balance Tailored property profiles with facile processing High cost efficiency with high versatility Low weight with high durability and recycling Multifunctionality with facile system integration The focus is placed upon the development of advanced polymeric materials and systems. Selected examples include: Bio-based materials for lightweight engineering and biomedicine Adaptive ("smart") materials and systems responding to their environment Energy-autonomous micro-/bio-systems for energy management and health care Bio-inspired, 3D-printed multifunctional polymers/systems
