Corrosion Control through a Better Understanding of the Metallic Substrate/Organic Coating/Interface.

Abstract

Many different characteristics determine the protective qualities of organic coating/metal substrate systems exposed to a corrosive environment. This research focuses on the following properties: (a) the oxided surface to which a coating is applied; (b) the stability of the coating/substrate adhesion under adverse conditions; (c) solid/polymer adhesion in terms of the acid and base character of substrate, pigment, filler, and polymer; (d) chemical changes at the substrate/coating interface as a function of time; (e) film-forming mechanisms as they relate to protective properties; (f) morphological characteristics of organic coatings; (g) mechanical properties of organic coatings; (h) effect of pigments and fillers on film properties; and (i) electrical properties of organic coatings as they relate to corrosion behavior. Some of the studies represent direct attacks on understanding these properties and others represent preliminary stages. (Author)
