Abstract
A stack (200) of fuel cells (202) sealed together with a formed elastomer seal (206) is disclosed. Each of the individual cell components are bonded to one another with thermoplastic film (204). As a result, only one formed elastomer seal (206) is required for each fuel cell (202) within a stack (200) to provide a modular fuel cell stack assembly (200).
