Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
byDr. Peter Zarras
Research Scientist
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons DivisionABSTRACT Specific examples of corrosive environments and traditional barrier coatings used to prevent corrosion will be presented. Several techniques will be described that examine a coating's performance in a corrosive environment such as EIS, ENM, SVET, PALS and accelerated weathering tests. Recent developments in polymeric coatings will be discussed with emphasis on conductive polymers as promising materials for corrosion prevention. Their synthesis, properties and corrosion-inhibiting mechanism will be thoroughly presented.(Refreshments will be served at 2:30p.m.)**ALL FIRST-YEAR MATERIALS SCIENCE GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND**
