The disclosed technology relates to a conductive composition containing chlorinated poly(vinyl) chloride ("CPVC") and a conductive filler, such as, for example, a graphitic material. More particularly, the technology includes bipolar plates prepared from the conductive composition for use in electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells, flow batteries, electrolyzers, and the like. La technologie de l'invention concerne une composition conductrice contenant du chlorure de poly(vinyle) chloré ("CPVC") et une charge conductrice, telle que, par exemple, un matériau graphitique. Plus particulièrement, la technologie comprend des plaques bipolaires préparées à partir de la composition conductrice pour une utilisation dans des dispositifs électrochimiques, tels que des piles à combustible, des batteries à circulation, des électrolyseurs et similaires.
