Abstract
A fuel cell component includes an electrolyte membrane and insert members disposed within the electrolyte membrane. The insert members are arranged to provide compression resistance of the assembly of the insert members and electrolyte membrane. Creep resistance of the assembly of the insert members and electrolyte membrane is greater than a creep resistance of the electrolyte membrane alone.
