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. 

In this chapter, we present PCN materials (including conjugated polymers, non-conjugated polymers and electroactive polymers) as model coatings to demonstrate the advanced anticorrosive properties of clay-based polymeric coatings by performing a series of electrochemical corrosion measurements.
