Feigenbaum, H; Pudick, S; Wang, C L

A fuel cell stack is described comprising stacked elements, including at least one corrosion resistant, electrically conductive, fluid impervious interface arranged between two of the elements which are not adjacent to one another. The interface consists of a non-cupreous metal coating formed on at least one of the elements and a conductive layer bonded to at least the metal-coated element by a hot-pressed resin. The resin substantially fills any pores in the conductive layer.
