Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and organic solar cells (OSC) based on polymeric materials are considered to exhibit a great potential for the development of novel solar power and energy-efficient display and light technologies.

cynora focuses on the research of novel semiconducting polymers, which, due to their intrinsic photophysical properties, are supposed to be used as white polymer light-emitting diodes (WPLEDs).

In the future the challenge will be, besides further efficiency improvements, the cost-effective processability and operational stability of OLED devices.

cynora technologies provide the synthesis of optoelectronic materials on a multi-gram scale.

These photoactive polymers are commercially available for thin film testing purposes and the development of printing technologies.

With its state-of-the-art laboratories in the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, cynora is situated right in the centre of one of the leading Technology areas in Europe.

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) represents the cooperation between the University Karlsruhe and the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.

Welcome to cynora.

cynora offers contract research and development services in the fields of homogenous catalysis, chiral technologies, optoelectronic materials, high-throughput screening and combinatorial chemistry.

Employing cutting edge technology, cynora speeds up the R&D process for its customers drastically. The result is a substantial reduction of the time to market for new products and processes. By outsourcing R&D activities to cynora, the customer also regains/increases flexibility in his R&D capacity.

cynora is a spin-off originating from the RWTH Aachen. Close cooperations with the Universities of Aachen, Bonn and Karlsruhe guarantee cynora's exclusive access to leading technologies. Since April 2008 the company is managed by Dr. Thomas Baumann and Dr. Tobias Grab. To further increase close collaboration with leading research groups of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT, cynora recently moved into its newly founded High-tech Incubator.

With its state-of-the-art laboratories in the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, cynora is situated right in the centre of one of the leading Technology areas in Europe.
