About IPML
The Illinois Polymer Maker Lab is a core research facility at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
The lab opened in 2026 and is funded by a Major Research Instrumentation grant from the National Science Foundation.
Its equipment includes an Anton Paar HTR 7000 rheometer, Labman Formulation system, Labman Frontal Polymerization system and TA Instruments Differential Scanning Calorimeter.
The facility is open to University of Illinois researchers and those beyond campus. To get started, contact the lab’s staff and learn more about its rates.

About the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology
Explore the unknown. Map the mind. Shape the future.
The Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology is a community of faculty, staff and students working across disciplines to tackle problems no single field can solve alone. Supported by state-of-the-art core facilities, professional staff and collaborative workspaces, the Beckman Institute is where the next era of interdisciplinary research takes shape.
Work at the Beckman Institute is driven by three interconnected goals that address the most consequential problems of our time:
Image the invisible. We develop next-generation imaging technologies that illuminate living systems and the material world at every scale.
Understand intelligence. We investigate the biological and computational foundations of brain function and advance bio-inspired artificial intelligence, from neural networks to molecular computing.
Create a sustainable future. We design molecules, materials and technologies that promote health, enhance energy efficiency and address global environmental challenges.
