Polymeric materials are widely used to control the corrosion of metals, both to maintain appearance and to prevent loss of structural integrity. In this chapter, the fundamentals of metallic corrosion are briefly reviewed. Methods of studying corrosion, and of evaluating the performance of polymeric materials used in corrosion protection, are outlined. Factors that influence the corrosion protective perfoi iance of polymeric materials are discussed, and some of the research needs and important unsolved problems are highlighted.
