IsoCARC™ Technology is Fielded
Tuesday, September 4 2007
Isotron's next-generation Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (IsoCARC™) has been applied and is being evaluated in a field environment. The IsoCARC technology was developed under a Navy-sponsored Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract. Today, this advanced technology has been applied and evaluated on an advanced amphibious assault vehicle. This application and evaluation phase represents a major step towards full deployment of IsoCARC technology.

Seattle’s Economic Development Director Tours Isotron and Modumetal
Friday, June 1 2007
Seattle’s Director of Economic Development, Susan Shannon, toured the facilities of Isotron and Modumetal on Thursday, May 31, 2007, seeing firsthand the cutting edge technology that is helping to place Isotron and Modumetal on the list of emerging nanotechnology firms. "I am most impressed with the vision, creativity and innovation of Isotron and Modumetal," said Seattle's Office of Economic Development Director Susan Shannon. "These small companies, headquartered in Seattle, represent the true spirit of invention that makes our community unique. They're making great leaps in the use of nanotechnology that may result in stronger, lighter weight materials, as well as cutting edge technology to protect our water supplies and communities." Joining Shannon during the tour was Seattle City Councilmember Jan Drago and Damian Cordova, Staff Assistant to Congressman Jim McDermott.

EPA Awards Contract to Isotron to Advance Water Infrastructure Security Technology
Tuesday, January 30 2007
January 2007 (Seattle, WA) - Water security has become a national priority following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. EPA has awarded Isotron a contract to develop a novel water treatment that will mitigate the threat of radionuclide contamination, such as that resulting from a terrorist release of radioactive material into the water supply. This technology is further expected to result in technology that is broadly applicable to other waterborne contaminants.

Isotron to Demonstrate Advanced Membrane for Large-scale Hydrogen Production
Wednesday, October 11 2006
Seattle, WA
Isotron announces an effort to demonstrate the use of a new class of proton exchange membranes for use in large-scale, hydrogen production. The effort will involve the definition of the cost-effective performance targets for commercial-scale deployment of the Hybrid Sulfur (HyS) Cycle (also known as the Westinghouse Sulfur Cycle) for production of hydrogen ancillary to nuclear power plant operation. In order to achieve cost effective hydrogen production in this scenario, this team is demonstrating a novel class of membrane electrodes, which have demonstrated improved power density and reduced methanol crossover versus Nafion® PEMDMFCs. It is anticipated that these inorganic membrane electrodes will also exhibit reduced acid crossover in the proposed application. Their construction affords potential operation at temperatures up to 400°C in concentrated solutions of sulfuric acid without degradation in performance, and will therefore accept hotter feeds from the thermochemical SO2 extraction process. A cost and thermochemical model of the HyS process will be developed in order to simulate performance targets and derive a specification for the components of an effective, commercial-scale HyS plant.
