Abstract:
This invention describes a low-cost, lightweight, high-performance composite bipolar plate for fuel cell applications. The composite bipolar plate can be produced using stamped or pressed into the final form including flow channels and other structures prior to curing.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of making a conductive, composite bipolar plate made of coated particles for making a composite material that enhances a property of the composite material, comprising:\n providing a powdered component called a powdered host particle; providing a second powdered component called a conductive additive that comprises a softening or melting temperature higher than the melting point of the powdered host particle; inputting said powdered host particle and said conductive additive into a ball mill; and ball milling said powdered host and said conductive additive for a milling time to sufficiently mix but not melt the powdered host particle into a conductive host-additive particle.
