Research
The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) is the largest non-university institute in the area of low temperature plasmas in Europe, including their basic research and technical applications.
The research is organized in the three research divisions Plasmas for Materials and Energy
(Head: Prof. Dirk Uhrlandt), Environment and Bioeconomy (Head: Prof. Klaus-Dieter Weltmann) and Hygiene and Healtch (Head: Prof. Thomas von Woedtke) each covering two research programs at present.
Materials and Energy
The research division bundles issues of plasma applications in the areas of energy and production technology. This currently comprises application areas in the generation of functional coatings, thin layers and catalytically active materials by means of plasma processes, the plasma chemical synthesis as well as topics of the power and process engineering.
Environment and Bioeconomy
The research division focuses on innovative and environmentally friendly topics and uses the synergies of its two research programmes: Plasma Chemical Processes and Agriculture, Biomass and Decontamination.
Hygiene and Health
With its two research programmes Plasma Surface Modification and Plasma Medicine, the research division develops novel, plasma-based applications in the field of health and medical technology.
