(NL1003238-C2)      Plate-shaped components are produced by tape casting a suspension comprising the base material for the plates, fibres, binders/gelling agents and an alcohol and removing the alcohol. The suspension is prepared by mixing a first suspension comprising an alcohol or dispersion medium and the base material with a second suspension comprising the binder and water/alcohol as dispersant/gelling agent.    USE -   The process is used to manufacture electrodes or matrix plates for a fuel cell used at high temperature e.g. an MCFC cell.    ADVANTAGE -   By mixing two suspensions, agglomeration and inhomogeneities are avoided and any suspensions not meeting requirements can easily be recycled. The product requires less after treatment (e.g. rolling) and rejects and waste can be reused as starting materials (impossible with previously used acrylate binders). The only organic solvent required is an alcohol. Vacuum is not required to precisely regulate the viscosity of the suspension. Thin components can be produced cheaply and simply and can be held in intermediate storage for considerably longer than previously.
