RESEARCHER NOTE The translation and commercialisation of a technology is never an easy feat; technical reliability and scalability aside, it also requires a suitable industry partner to bring the technology to commercialisation, and to facilitate an ecosystem. The 18-month co-innovation journey with Singapore Asahi Chemical and Solder Industries Pte Ltd (SACSI) has been a technically challenging yet fruitful and satisfying one. How does one design a suitable reactor to enable the scale-up from a 1 litre January, 2022 glass round-bottom flask to pilot production at 10 litres, and finally to 100 litres of mass production? Which packaging material is most suitable for 3 better solution shelf life? What is the incoming chemical control required for consistent feedstock for manufacturing? These were just a few of the MANUFACTURING MATTERS technical challenges that the team had to overcome in this project. Partnering with SACSI to tap on their network and expertise in chemical production, we were able to bring the Anti-microbial and Hydrophobic Coating (AHC) technology from laboratory scale, to pilot production, and finally to mass production at SACSI’s site. Through SACSI, the deployment of this technology extended to different end-users in various sectors, benefiting a wider community. When COVID-19 broke out, we were able to hasten development so that this technology could reach the various end-users promptly. These were made possible by the trusted partnership with SACSI. Behind every success story is a hardworking team and a trusted industry partner. Together, we persevered even after countless failed attempts, supported each other and worked tirelessly to make the technology commercialisation a success. Our common motivation – to see our innovation and technology create growth for companies and enhance lives. Dr Chng Shuyun, Group Manager Sustainable & Circular Process Technology (SCPT) Group

FEATUREMANUFACTURING MATTERS DURABLE ANTI-MICROBIALJanuary, 2022 COATING FOR SELF- 4 DISINFECTING SURFACES Safeguarding our Society through Anti-Microbial Coating Technology A common mode of infectious disease transmission is through contact with contaminated surfaces. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for a cleaner and safer environment has never been more pressing. While disinfectants are commercially and widely available, their disinfecting properties lack durability and users need to clean surfaces actively and regularly to keep them free of microbes. A durable anti- microbial coating on surfaces would help to reduce both disease transmission risks and the need for laborious, frequent surface disinfection. To address this, researchers from SIMTech developed an anti-microbial coating with hydrophobic properties to facilitate easy cleaning. Together with Asahi Lifecare, a subsidiary under Singapore Asahi & Solder Industries Pte Ltd, this anti-microbial coating technology was taken from laboratory-scale to production scale, where it was validated to be effective against viruses including Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), a common cause of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, as well as Murine Hepatitis Virus (MHV) and Human Coronavirus Virus (OC43), both of which are SARS-Cov-2 surrogates. It has also been tested to be effective

against various bacteria strains including Methicillin- January, 2022 resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Through Asahi Lifecare, the anti-microbial solution developed was listed and recognized by NEA as a Class A self-disinfecting surface coating product effective against Coronavirus. Leveraging Asahi Lifecare’s deep expertise in chemical production and extensive network, an ecosystem and supply chain for this technology has been established in Singapore to enable the widespread deployment of this surface technology in various industrial sectors, and to work towards a safer environment post COVID-19. The coating can be applied to a myriad of materials for various purposes and is particularly relevant in the current pandemic situation. To date, Asahi Lifecare has produced and deployed the solution in many areas including public spaces like East Coast Town Councils, elderly homes like Pacific Healthcare Nursing Homes and All Saints Home, carpets for exhibition venues, car grooming services, SCDF ambulances, residential homes, hotels, offices, buildings, furniture and many more. The team is looking to extend the use of this technology to aircraft cabin interior parts and other suitable applications. As a Singapore company that is always at 5 the forefront of research and development, this technology helps us to jumpstart our MANUFACTURING MATTERS development of anti-microbial coating solutions and diversify our business without For enquiries, please contact changing our core business values.

Phaos Technology Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based local start-up specialising in optical microscopy technology, filed two patents relating to Optical Microsphere Nanoscopy technologies in 2020, and released its 2nd generation microscopy product, the OptoNano 200, on a global scale. They then partnered with A*STAR in the T-UP Programme, where A*STAR staff and expert in image processing software development Mr Jiang Ting Ying was seconded to Phaos Technology, further elevating the company’s capabilities both in technological advancements and manpower know-how.

Through the partnership, Ting Ying worked with Phaos Technology to develop three modular software solutions for the company’s microscopy product: Fast camera data Lighting uniformity Image stitching with acquisition and correction for global optimisation control microsphere lens images January, 2022 Phaos Technology’s 2nd generation microscopy product, 15 the OptoNano 200 MANUFACTURING MATTERS These three key functions are crucial to enhancing the company’s product performance – for example, without lighting uniformity correction, image stitching would not be possible. Ting Ying also proposed a patentable technology to further improve the image stitching and blending quality. In addition, during the partnership, Ting Ying’s technical leadership and knowledge transfer helped to grow Phaos Technology’s image processing team both in technical skills and size, their headcount increased from 4 to 10 staff. This partnership is one of the several success stories of the A*STAR T-UP Programme. For his significant contributions to the partnership, Ting Ying was awarded the 2021 T-UP Emerging Talent Award. The T-UP has been instrumental in building up our software team to where it is today!
