Energy conversion devices. [arylene sulfide polymer with conducting additives]

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5576649

Cured arylene sulfide polymers such as cured poly(phenylene sulfide) perform effectively in sealing or coating internal elements of alkali metal-sulfur energy conversion devices. The sealing or coating materials retain satisfactory corrosion resistance properties at elevated temperatures exceeding 300/sup 0/C, and can be placed in contact with both molten alkali metal and molten sulfur. Adding carbon particles, carbon fibers, graphite, powdered metals, or metal fibers renders the sealing or coating materials electrically conductive. Novel energy-conversion-device reactant containers and novel energy conversion devices are also disclosed.
