Coatings and films Most paints and coatings degrade by a photoelectrochemical mechanism. Applications are summarized that include protective coatings for automobiles, encapsulants for microelectronic devices, electrocatalysts, and microencapsulation techniques for controlled release of electroactive components. 

Electroactive polymer films have attracted considerable attention in the electrochemical community in recent years due largely to the wide range of possible applications of these materials in electrocatalysis, molecular electronics, chemical and biosensor technologies, energy conversion and storage, and as media for controlled drug release.
