TABLE OF CONTENTS A film represents a fine continuous material layer up to 250 ?m thick [1], [2] characterized by a large surface-to-volume ratio. In contrast to coatings, films do not adhere to other solid substrates.
Film formation is a specific property of polymers that distinguishes them from low-molecular matter. This is a considerable length and asymmetry of macromolecules capable of forming a strong oriented permolecular structure during stretching of polymer bodies that lies at the base of this property [2]. So far, polymers are considered to utterly suit to a raw material for production of the films.
A highly developed and reactive surface is another distinctive feature of polymer film materials. This feature only furnishes large potential in modification of films using various functional components, including CI and numerous available technological procedures [3], [4], [5], [6]. Corrosion inhibitors impregnated into a film may be found in different aggregate states. Despite considerable differences in physical and chemical parameters, films modified by CI are able in most cases to retain their critical characteristics.
Polymer films containing CI have proved to be economical and reliable means of anticorrosion protection of metals. They are referred to as a promising class of preservation and packaging materials in addition to their barrier and corrosion-inhibiting functions. Conservation and packing of metal ware in these films can be united in a single process, and depreservation is essentially simplified. The temporary anticorrosion protection technique of metal ware by inhibited films has a...
