Abstract

A liquid resin composition (26) comprising A) an addition-polymerizable oligomer which has, as the backbone thereof, a linear polyisobutylene or perfluoropolyether structure and has an alkenyl group at least at each end, B) a hardener containing, in its molecule thereof, at least two hydrogen atoms each bonded to a silicon atom, and C) a hydrosilylation catalyst is three-dimensionally crosslinked to form a sealing layer in a unit cell (20) of a fuel cell assembly to thereby seal separators (24) and (25), a pair of electrodes (22) and (23), and an ion-exchange resin (21) as a solid electrolyte. Thus, each cell can be reduced in thickness and size to enable the fuel cell assembly to have a high output.
