These composites materials are potential replacements for graphite bipolar plates currently used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Polymer composites are fabricated by the hot press method using different mixing ratios of conductive fillers and TPU. In this work, acetylene black (AB), carbon black (XC-72), carbon fiber, and graphite are used as the conductive fillers. The results show that as the content of the conductive fillers increases, the mechanical strength, the hardness, and the vibration-absorption ability of the composite increase. The thermal conductivity also increases. The electrical resistance decreases as the filling ratio of the conductive fillers is increased. Of the four fillers, carbon fibers and XC-72 carbon black samples have the lowest resistance. The Taguchi method is used to study the optimal content of the conductive fillers and process parameters. The best mixing speed and time are found to be 50rpm and 4 minutes, respectively. The optimal filling content is 30wt% of carbon fiber plus 30wt% of XC-72. This best sample shows a slightly positive temperature coefficient of the resistance. It increases from 0.396Ω-cm at 30 °C to 0.424Ω-cm at 90 °C . Finally serpentine flow channel bipolar plates are fabricated using the optimal design and are assembled with a Gore MEA to a single cell PEMFC. NO gaskets are used between the MEA and the bipolar plate. Gas tight is achieved with a torque of 3N-m. For cell temperature of 50°C and humidification temperature of 80°C , the current density reaches 650 mA/cm2 at voltage 0.6 V.
