INM – Leibniz-Institut für Neue Materialien gGmbH

The INM researches and develops materials - for today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Chemists, physicists, biologists, materials scientists and engineers shape the work at the INM. From the molecule to pilot production, the researchers focus on three key questions: which material properties are new, how can they be investigated and how can they be used for industrial and real-life applications in the future? The INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials gGmbH, based in Saarbrücken, is an internationally visible center for materials research. It cooperates scientifically with national and international institutes and develops for companies all over the world. The INM is an institute of the Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz e.V. and employs around 220 people. Its research is divided into three fields: nanocomposite technology, interfacial materials and biointerfaces.
