On the basis of the scanning reference electrode technique (SRET), a new la
boratory test for the evaluation of the delamination resistance of coatings
was developed. With the optimized SRET it is possible to perform screening
tests and discriminate coatings according to their delamination resistance
within a relatively short period of loading time. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scienc
