Abstract

A method for making components for fuel cells comprising at least a step of carrying out a surface treatment based on a plasma technology on at least one component of said fuel cell. To provide surface functional properties of different nature on materials used as fuel cell components, thereby allowing to make integrated component fuel cells of less weight and size, high efficiency and operating life.
