Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Separator plates for use in fuel cells are disclosed. The separator plates are made from conductive polymeric composites that are reinforced with a thin electrically conductive mesh or screen. These separator plates have increased flexural strength so that the plates can be made as thin as less than 2.6 mm. The separator plates are made by mixing and compounding a polymer and conductive fillers to form a homogeneous blend, and molding the blend into the conductive separator plate, wherein the conductive polymeric composite is reinforced with the electrically conductive mesh or screen.
