A binder component for a feedstock compound for use in a shaping and sintering process comprises b-i) 3 to 70% by volume of at least one first thermoplastic and/or wax-type material, and b-li) 30 to 97% by volume of at least one second thermoplastic and/or wax-type material, based on the total volume of the binder component. The first thermoplastic and/or wax-type material and the second thermoplastic and/or wax-type material differ in at least one property which property is selected from (1) solubility in a solvent, (2) degradability induced by heat and/or a reactant, and (3) volatility. The first thermoplastic and/or wax-type material is less soluble, less degradable or less volatile than the second thermoplastic and/or wax-type material. T.sub.cross is below 120 C., wherein T.sub.cross is the temperature at the intersection between the storage modulus G curve and the loss modulus G curve in a dynamic viscoelasticity measurement of the binder component. The feedstock compound containing the binder component and non-organic sinterable particles is used in an additive manufacturing process, an injection molding process, a pressing process or a casting process.

A method of producing an electrolyte membrane includes providing a dispersion solution that has a crosslinked perfluorinated ionomer material and a linear perfluorinated ionomer material dispersed in a carrier fluid or mixture carrier fluids. The crosslinked perfluorinated ionomer material has an equivalent weight of 750 g/mol or less with respect to proton exchange acid groups. The linear perfluorinated ionomer material has an equivalent weight of 750 g/mol or more with respect to proton exchange as acid groups. At least a portion of the carrier fluid or fluids is removed from the dispersion solution to thereby form an electrolyte membrane with the crosslinked perfluorinated ionomer material and the linear perfluorinated ionomer material.
