To understand the corrosion resistance of plasma polymer film covered metals, the interface chemistry and adhesion, the morphology of the films and the barrier properties have to be studied. Combined methods of thin film spectroscopy, electrochemistry and microscopy are essential to provide the required complementary information. The aim of these analytical studies is the investigation of the detailed correlation between thin film and interface structure and the stability of the coated substrates in corrosive environments.
