Advances in microencapsulation:
Latest innovations and potential applications

 

The Fraunhofer Technology Platform Microencapsulation TPM connects R&D institutions and industry partners operating in the field of microencapsulation. It provides a central place for the exchange of information as well as the latest developments and trends in microencapsulation, and promotes networking and collaboration within the industry through network meetings, workshops and other events. To help its members with their daily challenges and to identify new application areas TPM also provides technology and innovation management support.

Fraunhofer TPM was launched in 2009 and is operated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP.
