ToF-SIMS characterization of the interfacial molecular chemistry in metal (active) corrosion protection systems based on organic coatings

This work presents a data analysis extension to a well-established methodology for the assessment of organic coatings using imaging time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Such an approach produced results that can be analyzed using a multivariate analysis (MVA) procedure that performs the simultaneous processing of spatially and chemically related datasets.
