Graphite

Corrosion stability of graphite/polymer composites was verified in a study of the time dependence of the potential drop across a plate. Various materials were investigated in a special bipolar plate corrosion test cell at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The tests revealed that the ohmic resistance of the composite material does not rise with time. This indicates that no preferential
