Abstract

Galvanic degradation under salt spray or salt water conditions in hybrid structures containing a corrosible metal and a conductive-fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite is reduced through the addition to the polymer matrix of the composite of an effective amount of an inorganic corrosion/degradation inhibitor.
