چکیده مقاله
The bipolar plate (BP) material should possess contradictory properties. They should also manufacture from low-cost methods and materials. In the current investigation, thermoset-based composite materials are reinforced with conductive fillers, and the compression molding process is implemented. In addition to fabricating the bipolar plates (BPs) with and without the flowing channels, alleviating the defects during the molding process is performed. The channels are perfectly formed on the plates with the designed depth of 0.65 mm and 0.5 mm of width. Regarding the physical properties, the interfacial contact resistance was measured to be 18-24 mΩ cm2. The mean value of the flexural strength of the produced samples was equal to 47 MPa, which is almost twice the DOE target (>25 MPa). The mean value of the flexural strength of the produced samples was equal to 47 MPa, which is almost twice the DOE target (>25 MPa). The mean value of the flexural strength of the produced samples was equal to 47 MPa, which is almost twice the DOE target (>25 MPa).
