Dr. Yanhua Lei received his doctoral degrees from the Department of Material Science and Engineering from Hokkaido University in 2014. He is now an associate professor at Shanghai Maritime University, China. His research interests include corrosion and protection, electrochemistry, and electro-catalysis, especially by using the conducting polymer and organic/inorganic composites.

This book provides a basic introduction to the application of conductive polymer in corrosion protection, especially for marine environment corrosion protection research.
