New Resin Systems for Advanced Graphite Composite Fuel Cell
Two new resin systems from Huntsman Advanced Materials have been developed to meet the stringent requirements for graphite composite fuel cells.since the conversion of fuel to energy takes place via an electrochemical process, the process is much cleaner, quieter and up to three times more efficient than burning fuel. The fuel cell’s bipolar plates are said to have superior corrosion resistance, lower contact resistance, higher thermal conductivity and a longer operating life at higher temperatures.
For the automotive sector Huntsman Advanced Materials has developed a benzoxazine resin suitable for high temperature PEM fuel cells. The resin which operates at a continuous temperature of 120degC has a phenolic-like backbone which gives it very good flame retardant properties together with excellent glass transition temperatures and mechanical properties. In particular Huntsman say that there is a very high modulus, low water absorption and near zero shrinkage as well as good electrical properties.
