A METHOD FOR BONDING COMPONENTS OF A FUEL CELL

The invention is related to a method for bonding components of a PEM fuel cell with a frame and/or amongst one another, wherefore an adhesive curable by electromagnetic radiation in the range of visible light or UV is applied to the frame and/or the at least one component. The invention is characterized in that the adhesive is activated by the electromagnetic radiation and heated after the frame and/or components are brought into contact; or the frame and/or the components are brought into contact and the adhesive is exposed to electromagnetic radiation for activating and heating; to reduce its viscosity before the adhesive is finally cured.
