Peter M. Molton has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Tritium containing polymers having a polymer backbone substantially void of tritium
    Patent number: 5100968
    Abstract: A radioluminescent light source comprises a solid mixture of a phosphorescent substance and a tritiated polymer. The solid mixture forms a solid mass having length, width, and thickness dimensions, and is capable of self-support. In one aspect of the invention, the phosphorescent substance comprises solid phosphor particles supported or surrounded within a solid matrix by a tritium containing polymer. The tritium containing polymer comprises a polymer backbone which is essentially void of tritium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 1989
    Date of Patent: March 31, 1992
    Assignee: Battelle Memorial Institute
    Inventors: George A. Jensen, David A. Nelson, Peter M. Molton
