Abstract
An electrically and ionically conductive porous material including a thermoplastic binder and one or more of anion exchange moieties or cation exchange moieties or mixtures thereof and/or one or more of a protein capture resin and an electrically conductive material. The thermoplastic binder immobilizes the moieties with respect to each other but does not substantially coat the moieties and forms the electrically conductive porous material. A wafer of the material and a method of making the material and wafer are disclosed.
Claims15
An electrically and ionically conductive porous material, comprising a thermoplastic binder and one or more of anion exchange moieties or cation exchange moieties or mixtures thereof and/or one or more of a protein capture resin and an electrically conductive material,
- wherein said thermoplastic binder immobilizes the moieties with respect to each other but does not substantially coat the moieties and forms the electrically conductive porous material.
A thin wafer of electrically and ionically conductive porous material, comprising
- a mixture of a thermoplastic binder and one or more of anion exchange moieties or cation exchange moieties or mixtures thereof and/or one or more of a protein capture resin and an electrically conductive material into a mold,
- wherein said anion and/or cation exchange moieties are present in the range of from about 30% to about 75% by weight of the material and wherein said thermoplastic binder is present in the range of from about 25% to about 70% by weight of the material and said electrically conductive material is one or more of carbon black or glassy carbon particles or glassy carbon nanoparticles and is present in the range of from about 1 to about 15% by weight of the electrically and ionically conductive flexible and porous material.
