“…Firstly, the material was heated from room temperature (~25 °C) up to 315 °C at approximately 10 °C.min -1 , held in this temperature for 30 min under 1.2 MPa of pressure and then cooled down to room temperature. These parameters were stipulated according to the literature found on this subject 1,[3][4][5][6][7]19,20 and preliminary performed tests. In this work, three different cooling rates were applied in order to vary the final degree of crystallization, a fast rate of about 10 °C.min -1 , a slow rate of approximately 1°C.min -1 and an air cooling, obtained by leaving the press, die and laminate cool naturally in air.…”

“…This high-performance polymer exhibits a glass transition temperature (T g ) of about 90°C and a melting temperature (T m ) around 285°C 3 . It presents outstanding physical and chemical properties such as high-temperature stability, inherent flame resistance, good chemical resistance, anti-aging, high hardness and rigidity and excellent friction properties 2,4 . Due mainly to its low melt viscosity (~200 Pa.s), the PPS thermoplastic polymer can be molded with high filler or reinforcement contents 3,5 .…”

The crystallization degree in semi-crystalline thermoplastics plays an important role in determining the final properties of structural composite material (e.g. toughness, stiffness and solvent resistance). The main purpose of this work is to study different induced degrees of crystallinity in carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites, by using three different cooling rates during hot compression molding processing (51%, 58% and 62% of crystallinity). In this study, the morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of the produced laminates were investigated and compared. The results showed an increase in the storage modulus (9.8%), Young's modulus (9.2%) and ILSS (14.2%) for the lower cooling rates. Evidences of fiber/interface improvement and crystallites nucleation on the fiber reinforcement surface were also identified.

SUMMARY Bipolar plates are responsible for functions of vital importance to the long‐term performance of fuel cells. They play crucial roles in water and gas management, mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. It also significantly contributes to the volume, weight and cost of fuel cell stacks. The properties of bipolar plates are affected by the materials and processes used in the manufacturing of the plates. The objective of this article is to review the use of thermoplastic materials as polymer matrices in bipolar plate applications. Conductive composites consisting of different types and blends of thermoplastic polymers are detailed discussed. The effects of filler types and processing conditions are given. Several thermoplastic blends consisting of carbon black, carbon nanotube and graphite are evaluated. The dispersion of conductive fillers, in particular, polymer composites and polymer blend composites is also given. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
