摘要:
A sealing technique is provided for forming complex and multiple seal configurations for fuel cells and other electrochemical cells. To provide a seal, for sealing chambers for oxidant, fuel and/or coolant, a groove network is provided extending through the various elements of the fuel cell assembly. A source of seal material is then connected to an external filling port and injected into the groove network, and the seal material is then cured to form the seal. There is thus formed a “seal in place”, that is robust and can accommodate variations in tolerances and dimensions, and that can be bonded, where possible, to individual elements of the fuel cell assembly. This avoids the difficulty, labor intensive cost and complexity of manually assembling many individual gaskets into complex groove shapes and the like. The seal material can be selected to be comparable with a wide variety of gases, liquid coolants and the like.

A method for controlling cure initiation and curing time of a platinum group metal curable fluorosilicone composition. The method comprises in a platinum group metal curable fluorosilicone composition comprising a cross-linker mixture comprising an alkylhydrogensiloxane and a dialkylhydrogen perfluoroalkylethylsiloxane controlling the weight ratio of the alkylhydrogensiloxane to dialkylhydrogen perfluoroalkylethylsiloxane in the mixture within a range of about 0.1:1 to 9:1 to control the cure initiation and curing time of the composition.
摘要:
A high-consistency organosiloxane composition comprising fluorinated and non-fluorinated polyorganosiloxanes, which upon the addition of suitable cure components can be cured to form elastomers having improved tear strength and good resistance to hydrocarbon oil weep. The present composition comprises a reinforcing silica filler that has been treated with a tetraalkyldisilazane.

This is an improvement in a fuel cell stack assembly having a plurality of plates with grooves for accommodating gaskets to provide seals between individual fuel cell plates in the fuel cell stack assembly in order to prevent leakage of gases and liquids required for operation of the fuel cell stack assembly. The improvement comprising grooves in each fuel cell plate in the fuel cell stack assembly with a circular or an elliptical profile, and a unitary seal formed of a sealing material between each fuel cell plate in the fuel cell stack assembly having a profile corresponding to the profile of the grooves in each fuel cell plate.

Organosiloxane compositions that cure in the presence of ultraviolet radiation comprise a alkenyl-substituted fluorinated polyorganosiloxane, a mercaptoalkyl-substituted fluorinated polyorganosiloxane and a photoinitiator. The cured compositions are particularly useful as coating and encapsulants to protect electronic devices that are exposed to hydrocarbon fuels.

Polyorganosiloxane gels are prepared using compositions curable by a platinum catalyzed hydrosilation reaction that are characterized by the presence of a non-functional silicone fluid. The gel may contain additional components and may also be formulated into a multi-part system.

摘要:
A silicone gel product that resists fuel adsorption and has a surface that feels smooth and dry, resists dirt and moisture pick-up, and prevents the product from sticking to itself, comprises a silicone gel with a tacky surface and a fluorocarbon elastomer film adhering to the surface of the silicone gel.
