Intelligent Material® Technology Rests on Three Pillars
Core Technology
Synthesis of highly controlled inorganic crystals
IMS specializes in the synthesis of Intelligent Material®, uniform rare-earth and rare-earth doped oxides, sulfides, or halides with atomically precise size, composition, and crystal structures.
Material Functionalization
Making crystals useful
The Intelligent Material® platform enables the integration of engineered functional materials into a wide range of physical formats for authentication, traceability, and secure identification. These technologies are available commercially through multiple material implementations, including Intelligent Fiber®, Intelligent Paint®, Intelligent Ink®, Intelligent Plastic®, and Intelligent Film® . Each is designed for seamless integration into standard manufacturing workflows such as printing, coating, polymer processing, and textile production. IMS provides evaluation materials, pilot quantities, and commercial supply to support implementation across industrial, packaging, and product manufacturing applications.
