The Innovative Materials and Processes Division (IMPD) at CSIR-AMPRI, Bhopal, is a leading national research division working at the frontier of advanced materials science and next-generation manufacturing. IMPD encompasses twelve permanent scientists with expertise spanning additive manufacturing, graphene and 2D materials, electrochemistry, computational materials science, molecular catalysis, and biomedical sensing. The division operates cutting-edge metal additive manufacturing facilities \u2014 including Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM) alongside graphene synthesis, characterization, and standardization infrastructure.\u00a0 IMPD is nationally recognized for demonstrating, for the first time internationally, graphene-reinforced SS316L composites via LPBF with 67% higher yield strength than bare stainless steel. The division has developed India’s first commercial Make-in-India Raman Spectrometer and is actively pursuing CEMILAC certification of indigenized aerospace-grade AM components in collaboration with ADA and HAL. Funded by multiple national agencies, IMPD is aligned with strategic national missions including Make in India, Waste to Wealth, the National Quantum Mission, and the National Green Hydrogen Mission. With over 450 cumulative SCI publications and extensive international collaborations, IMPD serves as a critical hub for translating fundamental materials research into national industrial and defence applications.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\n\n\n\n

IMPD encompasses twelve permanent scientists with expertise spanning additive manufacturing, graphene and 2D materials, electrochemistry, computational materials science, molecular catalysis, and biomedical sensing. The division operates cutting-edge metal additive manufacturing facilities \u2014 including Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM) alongside graphene synthesis, characterization, and standardization infrastructure.\u00a0 IMPD is nationally recognized for demonstrating, for the first time internationally, graphene-reinforced SS316L composites via LPBF with 67% higher yield strength than bare stainless steel. The division has developed India’s first commercial Make-in-India Raman Spectrometer and is actively pursuing CEMILAC certification of indigenized aerospace-grade AM components in collaboration with ADA and HAL. Funded by multiple national agencies, IMPD is aligned with strategic national missions including Make in India, Waste to Wealth, the National Quantum Mission, and the National Green Hydrogen Mission. With over 450 cumulative SCI publications and extensive international collaborations, IMPD serves as a critical hub for translating fundamental materials research into national industrial and defence applications.
