The process of metal dissolution under a delaminated insulating polymer coating (underfilm dissolution) has been studied. For this purpose, we used an experimental setup that simulates the process of corrosion of underground metal structures in the presence of through defects in the polymer coating and/or extended areas of peeling of the polymer coating from the metal (loss of adhesion)-subfilm cavities partially or completely filled with electrolyte. In particular, the distribution of the protective current under a peeled polymer coating was studied, and a sharp decrease in the value of the protective current was shown at a distance of 1-3 cm from the edge of the defect with a gap between the metal and the coating of 1-6 mm.

The adsorption isotherms of VC on zinc from an aqueous solution were obtain. In order to determine the adsorption characteristics of VS molecules and to calculate the heats of adsorption, the obtained adsorption isotherms were mathematically processed in terms of the well-known adsorption approaches (approximations, adsorption isotherms).

Previously, for this purpose, the preliminary modification of the surface of structural metals with solutions of compositions, based on both individual organosilanes and their mixtures with amine-containing corrosion inhibitors, was proposed. Such treatment leads to the formation of self-assembled siloxane polymeric/oligomeric nanoscale layers on the metal surface, which are capable of changing the physicochemical properties of the metal surface (namely, by reducing the tendency of the metal to corrosive destruction).

The use of different adsorption isotherms made it possible to calculate the adsorption heats for DAS and VS. It was determined that chemisorption of these organosilanes occurred on the surface of aluminium.
