## Abstract This paper discusses the effect of compression pressure on the mechanical and thermal properties of gas diffusion layers (GDL). The stressβstrain curve of the GDL revealed one nonlinear and two piecewise linear regions within the compression pressure range of 0β5.5βMPa. The thermal cond
Accurate information on the temperature field and associated heat transfer rates are particularly important in devising appropriate heat and water management strategies in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. An important parameter in fuel cell performance analysis is the effective thermal con
In the present work, preliminary results of different hydrophobic surface treatments for gas diffusion layer (GDL) for PEM fuel cells are presented. This hydrophobic coating consists of new perfluoropolyether (PFPE) derivatives, in comparison to standard polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dispersions. E
