| Summary: | applied as a coating material, hydrophobic polymers, coated with a hydrophobic coating termed conformal and commercially available coating products while allowing for an comparisons to be made between the conformal coat and other control). The results of these experiments showed that the corrosion preventative coat. This will allow direct corrosion were below expectations, especially in comparison corrosive environments. In order to ascertain the few polymers possess is hydrophobicity, that is water field studies, and scanning electron microscopy. To be able in corrosion resistance. including Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, realtime materials is in the area of corrosion protection. When metallic substrates of aluminum, copper, and steel were necessary to test similar uncoated metallic substrates as performance of conformal as a preventative measure against performance of hydrophobic materials in corrosion service, polymer-metallic substrate interface. Preliminary results repelling. Consequently, one particular use for hydrophobic show that improvements in the adhesive capabilities through subjected to a variety of intensive analytical examinations the use of a base coating result in significant improvements theoretically, should provide excellent protection against these materials have been discovered in the quest to best This is most likely due to inadequate adhesion at the to gage the relative performance of the conformal coat, it is to other commercially available non-hydrophobic coatings. uncoated substrate to act as a baseline reference (i.e. a utilize their unique characteristics.
