“…The addition of GNs increases the glass transition temperature of the composites obtained from the second DSC heating run of the VE polymer (Table ), more noticeably when the cure is carried out at 25°C. Similar findings were obtained by Liao et al by adding carbon nanotubes to VE and it has been ascribed to the intercalation of the carbon filler between the polymer chains. In the VE–GN composites, the increase in the T g value can also be ascribed to the interactions between the graphite nanoplatelets and the VE polymer.…”

Different amounts (0.1–5wt%) of graphite nanoplatelets (GNs) were added to vinylester (VE) for improving the properties of the composites cured at 25°C. The addition of 0.1wt% GN only increased the Tg and the thermal stability of the composite cured at 25°C. Furthermore, the addition of GN increased both the tensile strength and elongation‐at‐break of the composites cured at 25°C, but the effect of adding GN was less important when cured at 100°C. The improved properties of the composites were ascribed to the interactions between the oxygen species on the GN edges and the C==O and OH groups in the VE monomer, and to the higher fraction of the partially crosslinked polymer within the matrix.

“…These are epoxy [58,59], phenolic [60][61][62][63][64] and vinylester [46] resins. Some of the thermoset resins at room temperature are liquid example the vinylesters found in styrene [65][66][67][68][69]. Other resins must be dissolved in a solvent.…”

“…Three types of thermosets are mostly described in the literature for the fabrication of BPs: epoxy [39,40], phenolic [9,36,[41][42][43][44][45] and vinyl ester [46][47][48][49]resins. Some thermo set resins are liquid at room temperature (vinyl esters in styrene solution [49,50] and some resins are dissolved in a solvent [10,36]). Epoxy resins are either as liquid or solid powder shape including a resin and hardener [51].…”

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells offer exceptional potential for a clean, efficient, and reliable power source. The bipolar plate (BP) is a key component in this device, as it connects each cell electrically, supplies reactant gases to both anode and cathode, and removes reaction products from the cell. BPs has primarily been fabricated from high-density graphite, but in recent years, much attention has been paid to develop the cost-effective and feasible alternative materials. Recently, two different classes of materials have been attracted attention: metals and composite materials. This paper offers a comprehensive review of the current researches being carried out on the metallic and composite BPs, covering materials and fabrication methods. In this research, the phenomenon of ionic contamination due to the release of the corrosion products of metallic BP and relative impact on the durability as well as performance of PEM fuel cells is extensively investigated. Furthermore, in this paper, upon several effective parameters on commercialization of PEM fuel cells, such as stack cost, weight, volume, durability, strength, ohmic resistance, and ionic contamination, a material selection is performed among the most common BPs currently being used. This material selection is conducted by using Simple Additive Weighting Method (SAWM). Highlights: Materials, properties, Platings, Plating methods, stamping process and ionic contaminations of metallic bipolar plates. Material selection upon eleven bipolar plate materials using the Simple Additive Weighing Method (SAWM) approach.
