Challenges & Applications - Centre for Materials Science

Materials Challenges

Value-added materials

Improving existing materials performances, and functions at the crossover of physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Characterisation & Testing

Pushing new technologies towards the frontiers of ultimate structure analysis and particle-matter interaction.

Fabrication & Prototyping

Exploring the design space of products to enable generative and evaluative discovery.

Frontier Materials

Designing and inventing new materials from small-molecule systems to complex macromolecular structures through fundamental science.

Applications & Solutions

We contribute to improving services, treatments, processes and products with great economic, environmental and social impacts across several application fields.

Our Facilities

Along with world-class technical expertise, our purpose-built facilities enable an efficient research space for material discoveries.

State-of-the-art instrumentation includes:

Double-aberration-correction high resolution transmission electron microscope (JEOL NEOARM)
Focused ion beam microscope (FIB)
Time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS).

Our expert research team also take advantage of the Central Analytical Research Facility (CARF) infrastructure.
