Authors of the chapter: Mikhail Zheludkevich, Arjan Mol
Traditionally, protective organic coatings are applied to a wide variety of metal (alloys) when used in practice under corrosive conditions. Such applications may vary from offshore structures, bridges, aircraft, automobiles to micro-electronics, process industry, windmills and many more. The main function of these coatings is to form a physical barrier to aggressive species present in the surrounding medium to reach the coating-metal(oxide) interface. Such protection may hold well in case of an intact coating. However, coating defects by mechanical scratching, punctures or delamination are common to occur during manufacturing, assembling or the service lifetime of products and structures. In that case an active protection mechanism should kick in to limit the corrosion...
