Development of an Intrinsically Conducting Polymer-Based Low-Cost, Heavy-Duty, and Environmentally-Friendly Coating System for Corrosion Protection of Structural Steels

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) Report 157: Development of an Intrinsically Conducting Polymer-Based Low-Cost, Heavy-Duty, and Environmentally-Friendly Coating System for Corrosion Protection of Structural Steels explores the use of Intrinsically Conducting Polymer for developing a more cost-effective, heavy-duty, and environmentally-friendly two-layer coating system to replace the conventional zinc-rich three-coat system for corrosion protection of structural steels.
