Glass epoxy fabricated separators

The results for contact resistance were measured comparing the glass epoxy fabricated separators to the ceramic fabricated separators. These materials were fastened with 6 MIO screws under increasing torque conditions. Figure 6-6 compares the results between each material under the increasing torque and plots the resistances observed. The contact resistances measured are for one cell under torque and include the GDL resistance. This test shows that the ceramic separator resistance is much lower than that of glass epoxy. The measured resistance for the ceramic was 77% to that of the glass epoxy separator. 

Fig. 12 Microphotograph of an analyte concentrator fabricated with FAb antibody fragments immobilized to controlled-pore glass silica. The irregularly shaped beads were housed between two frit structures. The analyte concentrator device was connected to two separation capillaries by a Teflon sleeve. The plastic connector was glued to the separation capillaries by an epoxy resin. The entire fabrication process was monitored by an stereo microscope.

Fabrication of simple dual-band and dual-plate junction electrodes (similar to microgap electrode systems" ) was recently demonstrated with the development of ITO-epoxy-ITO electrodes. These electrodes consist of two ITO-coated glass slides stuck together with epoxy resin (cured under pressure from a weight to minimise gap size). The end of the electrode was sliced off with a diamond blade to reveal two ITO nano-bands separated by a layer of epoxy. This type of dual-band electrode was further improved by etching out the epoxy with Piranha solution to create a dual-plate...
