Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
BIPOLAR PLATE FOR FUEL CELLS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
The invention relates to electrically conductive composite materials based on thermoplastic polymers containing carbon nanotubes, and to methods for manufacturing same. The invention further relates to electrically conductive thin plates for use as bipolar plates in fuel cells, inter alia, proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The present invention proposes a method for producing thin electrically conductive plates, and further proposes a thin bipolar plate with a thickness of less than 1 mm for a high-temperature fuel cell, said plate having gas transport channels on the surface thereof and containing a composite material comprised of a thermoplastic polymer and single-walled and/or double-walled carbon nanotubes, wherein the composite material contains connected regions having a carbon nanotube concentration of more than 1 wt%, and domains having a size of less than 200 ?m and a local concentration of carbon nanotubes of less than 1 wt%.
