TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: PFAS-Free Sulfonated Poly(norbornene) Ionomeric Binders

Description: Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering its patent-pending PFAS-free sulfonated poly(norbornene) ionomeric binder technology for potential commercialization in proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells and water electrolyzers. The technology is designed to support proton conductivity, catalyst activity, gas permeability, and tunable hydrophobicity, and may be licensed on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis. Interested parties must respond by January 6, 2027, at 5:00 PM MST and contact LANL’s licensing office to discuss terms.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: PFAS-Free Sulfonated Poly(norbornene) Ionomeric Binders
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), operating as a Department of Energy management contractor, is offering a technology licensing opportunity for PFAS-Free Sulfonated Poly(norbornene) Ionomeric Binders developed by its researchers. These binders serve as a cleaner, tunable drop-in replacement for traditional perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) materials in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and water electrolyzers, eliminating PFAS while maintaining proton conductivity, gas permeability, and thermal stability. The opportunity targets market applications in hydrogen energy, transportation, stationary power, industrial gas/chemical production, and aerospace/defense, with licensing available through LANL's Technology Partnerships Office.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: SiloGetter
Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering SiloGetter, a 3D-printed siloxane composite designed to capture hydrogen in sealed electronics, vacuum instruments, metal containers, and aerospace applications. The printable material can be shaped to fit devices and absorbs more than 80% of available hydrogen while retaining good mechanical properties. The laboratory offers the technology through exclusive or non-exclusive licensing agreements; the notice is not a call for external development services.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: SonicCoat
Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering SonicCoat, a non-invasive ultrasonic system for evaluating catalyst coatings in electrochemical devices. The technology uses Acoustic Resonance Spectroscopy to measure coating thickness and uniformity in real time without destructive sampling, with applications including fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, solar energy, and semiconductor fabrication. This special notice seeks exclusive or non-exclusive licensing from existing companies or startups and is a technology-licensing opportunity rather than a grant program.
