Due to the continued importance of the corrosion protection of substrates by coatings, the January 2012 issue of Journal of Coatings Technology and Research is focused specifically on the formulation, application, and testing of corrosion-preventative coatings. Articles contained in the issue cover advances in corrosion inhibiting additives, such as conduction polymers and environmentally sustainable compounds.
The effects of conversion coatings and pretreatments based on nonchrome-containing compounds continue to be an extremely challenging technical problem and are also addressed in this issue. Additional papers cover the growing importance of electrodeposited coatings and the corrosion protection of traditional ferrous substrates.
This collection of papers represents an important contribution to the ongoing understanding of how coating formulation and application affect the corrosion performance of modern material systems.
