Graphite Filled Vinyl Ester Composites for Fuel Cell Bipolar Plate

Fuel Cells generate electricity from an electro chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel Cells are know to have potentials to revolutionize energy conversion and distribution. There are a number of bipolar plate technolnogies for Fuel Cells, and the bipolar plate have the critical task of conducting current, keeping the gases separate, and managing the water flow. Pure graphite plates were used initially, but due to their high cost and manufacturing difficulty, thermoset bipolar plates have generated interest from Fuel Cell companies because of their low cost, corrosion resistance, and durability. ShinHa is introducing graphite filled vinyl ester composites from Bulk Molding Compounds, Inc(BMC) that is an exclusive licensee of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
