INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials is focused on the research and development of materials – for today, tomorrow and the future. Chemists, physicists, biologists, materials and engineering scientists shape the work at INM. From molecule to pilot production, they follow the recurring questions: Which material properties are new, how can they be investigated and how can they be used in the future? Situated in Saarbrücken/Germany, INM is an internationally leading centre for materials research. It is a scientific partner to national and international institutes and a provider of research and development for companies throughout the world. INM is an institute of the Scientific Association Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and employs around 240 collaborators. Its main research fields are Nanocomposite Technology, Interface Materials, and Biointerfaces
