Research Centres and Joint Laboratories
Our innovative technologies and R&D are made applicable to industry through our research centres and joint laboratories by demonstrating, test-bedding and prototyping these technologies in collaboration with our research and industry partners.
This laboratory conducts energy storage materials and battery device R&D to provide portable energy sources and advanced energy storage solutions for application in renewable energy, smart grids, biomass, urban lifestyle devices and consumer care industries. more
Bioinspired Materials Laboratory(under the Analysis and Characterisation Group)
The cross-disciplinary research laboratory aims to employ nature’s molecular tools with synthetic biomolecular design principles to create new bio-inspired material platforms, with a focus on deciphering the molecular building blocks of living organisms on which to engineer the next generation of functional materials for a wide range of applications, using environmentally friendly means of synthesis. more
The laboratory is a joint effort between IMRE and the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore (NUS). This synergy encourages enterprise from innovation, balances science exploration with technology development, and strengthens and widens the talent development infrastructure in A*STAR and NUS. more
The scope of the research centre, which is part of the Synthesis & Integration Capability Group, is divided into two parts (1) build up the platform technology in filler dispersion and fundamental understanding of interface control and structure-property relationship, and (2) exploit the application of nanocomposites in three key thrusts. more
Plasmonics and Nanoheterostructures Laboratory(under the Patterning and Fabrication Group) Nanoplasmonics enables the mediation of light between the macro-world and nanostructures. Colloidal Semiconductor Nanoheterostructures (CSN) are nanostructures capable of processing light due to its material properties and quantum size confinement. This laboratory explores the integration of nanoplasmonics with CSNs to produce novel, and higher-performance devices than currently available. more
Porous Materials Laboratory(under the Synthesis and Integration Group)
The laboratory aims to build a platform for collaborative work via a world-class research laboratory in porour materials for Singapore. The team will focus on producing high impact publications, papers and patents; talent development; collaborations with local and overseas universities and research organisations; and forming industrial partnerships. more
