Biodegradation of Polymeric Coatings and Corrosion of Aircraft Materials

Abstract

Grant cancelled. FY 99 annual report became final report. During the reporting period substantial progress was made toward modifying an instrumentation design that will allow micro study of biodegradation and corrosion mechanisms. A Quartz Electrochemical Micro Balance (QEMB) system has been designed and six systems have been constructed and calibrated. These units will be interfaced with a data acquisition system to monitor reactions and study degradation mechanisms of polymeric coatings in a variety of biological environments.
