Development of a Two‐Stage Cold Pressing and Tempering Process of Graphite Compound Bipolar Plates
ABSTRACT Proton‐exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are considered a key technology for decarbonized energy systems, particularly in combination with sustainably sourced green hydrogen. The functional performance and reliability of core components, such as bipolar plates (BPPs), depends critically on the manufacturing processes. This study explores a

Process Control in Micro-Embossing: A Review [PDF]
— A promising technique for the large-scale manufacture of micro-fluidic devices and photonic devices is hot embossing of polymers such as PMMA. Micro-embossing is a deformation process where the workpiece material is heated to permit easier material ...

A thermo-mechanically-coupled large-deformation theory for amorphous polymers in a temperature range which spans their glass transition [PDF]
Amorphous thermoplastic polymers are important engineering materials; however, their non-linear, strongly temperature- and rate-dependent elastic-viscoplastic behavior is still not very well understood, and is modeled by existing constitutive theories ...

Fabrication of Functional Plastic Parts Using Nanostructured Steel Mold Inserts
We report on the fabrication of sub-micro and nanostructured steel mold inserts for the replication of nanostructured immunoassay biochips. Planar and microstructured stainless steel inserts were textured at the sub-micron and nanoscale by combining ...

Extrusion Roller Imprinting with a Variotherm Belt Mold
Although many precision fabrication techniques have demonstrated the ability to produce microstructures and micro-devices with sub 100 nm accuracy, we are yet to see a scalable manufacturing process for large-area production.
