AbstractThis is the first of a series of articles on ionic and molecular transport processes and related properties of paint films. The intention is to correlate adhesion and initiation of corrosion to these relevant physical and chemical properties. Chemical formulas and structure of three vinyl–three epoxy– and one polyurethane–paint system are given in this article. Each paint has been formulated to meet appropriate military specifications. Subsequent articles will deal with dynamic mechanical properties, small angle x‐ray scattering measurements of porosity, and transport pro
