Alda Simoes Abstract Organic coatings are the most widely used finishing for all kinds of structures. In this chapter, a brief presentation of organic coatings and of its properties is made, dealing namely with the components and their role in the coating performance, the properties of the dry coating, the degradation mechanisms and finally the […]
