Novel anti-corrosion coatings on steel. / Andrew Richard Bennett

Swansea University Author: Andrew Richard Bennett

Abstract

The primary objective of the work detailed in this thesis was to further explore the inhibitory performance of polyaniline for the prevention of corrosion-driven cathodic disbondment on steels and zinc-alloy coated steels. Polyaniline was investigated under atmospheric conditions so as to make possi...
