Abstract: An intermediate material of a thermoplastic prepreg for a fuel cell separation plate comprises a hydrophobic thermoplastic resin film and a fiber base. The hydrophobic thermoplastic resin film has a degree of crystallization of 1 to 20%, a thickness of 3 to 50 ?m, and (iii) a content of an electroconductive material of 1 to 20 wt. %. The film is laminated on at least one surface of the fiber base. The thermoplastic prepreg for a fuel cell separation plate is manufactured by pressurizing the thermoplastic prepreg intermediate material at a temperature higher than the melting point of the hydrophobic thermoplastic resin film. A fuel cell separation membrane manufactured using the thermoplastic prepreg intermediate material and thermoplastic prepreg is thin and light-weight, and have a good durability.

Abstract: A method for preparing a high quality thermoplastic prepreg, includes: laminating a thermoplastic resin film having a crystallization degree in a range of 1 to 20% on at least one surface of a matrix fiber; and heating the laminate to a higher temperature than a melting point of the film, then, pressing the same. The method uniformly impregnates a matrix fiber with a thermoplastic resin, has a short curing cycle in the formation, and involves no random modification in alignment of fibers in the matrix fiber due to a low crystallization degree of the impregnated thermoplastic resin, thereby increasing rigidity of a formed product and enabling reduction of thickness. Thus produced prepreg has a low weight variation per unit area.
