Highly filled conductive polymer composites (CPCs) are widely used in applications such as bipolar plate materials for electrolyte membrane fuel cells and redox flow batteries, electromagnetic interference shielding sensors due to their useful electrical properties. A common method determining through-plane conductivities $\left(\sigma_{\rm tp} \right)$ of highly CPCs applies a carbon paper bet...

It is important for the fuel cell integrated movable system to operate voltage and current using safety control technology. In order to work at the convenient condition of the fuel cell system, high performance fuel cell stack with replaceable fiber bipolar plate should be arranged with the integrated subsystem and appropriate working process. The parameters which affect the performance of PEMF...

Although low-threshold transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a modality used for control of pain, but its effect in the control of spasticity and change of excitability of a motor neuron is controversial. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 15-min tripolar TENS of vertebral column and bipolar TENS of common peroneal nerve (300 µs width, 50 Hz) on synap...
