The present invention is based on a surprising discovery of new packaging materials used to package substances, such as foods, preventing the photo-oxidation of entities found in these substances. Specifically, these new packaging materials include a mixture of polymer resins having novel and specific ratios of filler, preferably calcium carbonate, and titanium dioxide resulting in the material having unexpected properties.

Materials with enhanced protection of light sensitive entities

A method and composition is disclosed for making conductive flow field separator plates having reduced resistivity, lower weight and lower cost. The plates are made by blending from about 0.5 wt % to about 40 wt %, preferably from about 1 wt % to about 30 wt %, most preferably from about 5 wt % to about 20 wt %, of the liquid crystal polymer; from about 0.5 wt % to about 40 wt %, preferably from about 1 wt % to about 30 wt %, most preferably from about 5 wt % to about 20 wt % of the poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride); and from about 20 wt % to about 99 wt %, preferably from about 60 wt % to about 98 wt %, most preferably from about 70 wt % to about 90 wt % of the conductive filler. The blend is then moulded to form the conductive flow field separator plates.

Composition and method for making fuel cell collector plates with improved properties

The present invention provides a process for decreasing the resistivity of a non-machined conductive flow field plate for use in a fuel cell. The process includes the step of annealing the conductive flow field plate by heating the conductive flow field plate to a temperature between 25&#xb0; C. (room temperature) and a temperature slightly lower than the material softening temperature of the material composition of the conductive flow field plate; maintaining the conductive flow field plate at that temperature for an effective period of time; and, cooling the conductive flow field plate to room temperature.

Process for decreasing the resistivity of conductive flow field plates for use in fuel cells

The present invention relates to a release coating composition that may be applied to a film that may then be used as a substrate useful for applications requiring release for a broad range of temperatures and high humidity conditions, which temperatures may range from about 20&deg; C. to about 210&deg; C. These applications include release substrate used in the manufacture of calendared cured sheet rubber and molding paste composites, such as sheet molding compound (SMC), thick molding compound (TMC), bulk molding compound (BMC) and fiberglass composites. The release coating composition comprises a solution of a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose having hydroxypropyl molar substitution of from 0 to about 0.82. In a preferred form, particulate solids are present in the composition.
