The composite materials based on a thermosetting binder mark SFP and thermally expanded graphite and containing 50–70% of the filler are prepared by the method of hot pressing. It is studied how the physicochemical and mechanical characteristics of the composite depend on the method of filler introduction. The materials prepared by mixing air-dry components are shown to exhibit the high conductivity (up to 195 S/cm) and strength (above 25 mPa), the low interface contact resistance (less than 10 mΩ cm2), and the corrosion current not exceeding 1 µA/cm2, which allows the high efficiency of energy conversion in SPFC to be reached.

A method of production of hemosorbent based on thermally expanded graphite is developed. The method involves the electropolymerization of pyrrole on rolled thermally expanded graphite and subsequent cyclic electrochemical doping of polypyrrole film with Cl anions. The method enables one to produce a hemosorbent with an open-circuit potential, which is necessary for its biocompatibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
