NOVELTY - A web comprises subgasketed catalyst coated membrane (CCM) layer, and crosslinkable resin is applied to subgasketed portion(s) of subgasketed CCM layer. The exposed surface of crosslinkable resin is subjected to a photo-curing process, and the curing of crosslinkable resin is initiated. The photo-curing process is terminated when crosslinkable resin continues to cure in a partially cured state. A web comprising a gas diffusion layer (GDL) is contacted with partially cured exposed surface of crosslinkable resin of CCM layer to form a membrane electrode assembly (MEA).    USE - Manufacture of membrane electrode assembly used for fuel cell e.g. direct methanol fuel cell used as power supply for automobiles and laptop computers.    ADVANTAGE - The fuel cell membrane electrode assembly is manufactured efficiently.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A web comprises subgasketed catalyst coated membrane (CCM) layer, and a crosslinkable resin is applied to subgasketed portion(s) of the subgasketed CCM layer. The crosslinkable resin comprises a photocurable cationic crosslinkable resin. The exposed surface of crosslinkable resin is subjected to a photo-curing process, and the curing of crosslinkable resin is initiated. The photo-curing process is terminated when crosslinkable resin continues to cure in a partially cured state. A web comprising a gas diffusion layer (GDL) is adhered by contacting with the partially cured exposed surface of crosslinkable resin of the CCM layer to form a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) layer. The curing of crosslinkable resin is completed to discrete membrane electrode assemblies from the MEA layer. Thus, the manufacturing method of fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) via roll-to-roll process is performed. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an apparatus used for producing fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies, which comprises a primary transport system, an application system, a primary curing apparatus, a secondary transport system, and a converting system. The primary transport system is configured to move a web comprising subgasketed catalyst coated membrane layer. The application system is configured to apply crosslinkable resin to subgasketed portion(s) of the subgasketed CCM layer. The crosslinkable resin comprises a photocurable cationic crosslinkable resin. The primary curing apparatus is configured to exposed surface of crosslinkable resin. The secondary transport system is configured to move gas diffusion layer to contact with a partially cured exposed surface of the crosslinkable resin of the CCM layer. The converting system is configured to receive MEA layer and produce a several discrete MEAs from the MEA layer.
