An extensive survey of accelerated test methods for anticorrosive coating performance which emphasizes the need to develop more meaningful methods of testing has been pubUshed (129). The most powerful tool available is the accumulated material in data banks correlating substrate, composition, apphcation conditions, and specifics of exposure environments with performance. 

Laminates (multilayer structures), where each layer itself may be either a single-phase material or a multiphase material [10]. Examples of laminates include some electronic components, many structural composites, adhesive joints, and any other fabricated article where a coating layer (such as an anticorrosion coating or paint) is deposited on another material. See sections 7.C and ll.C.S.d for earlier discussions of such structures in this book. 

In order to reduce the intrinsic porosity and to increase the barrier effect of anticorrosion CP-based coatings, composite systems have been considered where one component is a CP and other component can be organic or inorganic. In literature, several recent papers have been published on this topic. Two classes of composites based on CPs could be individuated (Table 10.4). In the first class, the matrix is a CP, usually PANI and its... 

PPy has also been used in combination with CNTs to obtain an anticorrosion coating. Hermas [69] studied PPy-CNTs coating applied on stainless steel by in situ EP of PPy-oxidised multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and PPy-oxidised SWCNTs composites from 0.1 M oxalic acid by using cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the addition of the oxidised carbon nanotubes greatly enhances the EP process, especially in the case of oxidised SWCNTs. Similar results are reported in Ref. [70], referring to electrodeposition of a nanocomposite coating made of oxidised CNTs and poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD) on a stainless steel. Also in this case the presence of the CNTs enhances the deposition of the PoPD and this enhancement is more evident with SWCNT than with MWCNTs. The nanocomposite coating keeps the stainless steel in a passive state in an acidic solution.

Intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) are electroactive long-range conjugated polymers. They generally possess reversible redox performance, while metal corrosion is also a redox process therefore, it is possible that ICPs may find application for metal anticorrosion. It is true since the early report for corrosion inhibition performance of ICPs such as polyaniline (PANI) by DeBerry [5]. After more than 20 years of development, now ICPs have received much attention, since th may be a kind of alternative anticorrosion agents instead of the toxic heavy metal in anticorrosion coating, no matter they are used alone or as composite with substrate resin. 

Common matrix resins for blending with conducting polymers are widely used in traditional anticorrosion coatings, such as epoxy resin [25, 27, 32, 34, 68, 70, 71, 76], polyacrylic-based resin [24, 39, 48, 77, 78], and poly(methyl methacrylate) [30, 60, 62, 64]. The feature of matrix resin as well as the amount of ICPs is important to the anticorrosion performance of conductive composite coating. Samui and Phad-nis [67] blended various amounts of dioctyl phosphate (DOPH)-doped PANI with different polymeric matrices (epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, styrene-butyl acrylate...
