TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Kelvin probe as a reference electrode for the measurement of electrode potentials and showed that the potential drop across the oxide scale formed on top of the iron surface is small if the surface is kept in a humid environment (e.g. 95% relative humidity).

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion properties of pure iron and the alloys Fe-0.5Cu and Fe-3.4Cu are investigated during several wet/dry transitions, and the corrosion potential is measured with a Kelvin probe without touching the surface under investigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the electrochemical reactions taking place at the substrate/electrolyte and substrate/polymer interfaces are responsible for delamination of model coatings on steel.

TL;DR: In this paper, a circuit was presented which allows the measurement of polarisation curves on metal surfaces which are covered by electrolyte layers as thin as 2 μm, and the circuit does not need any Luggin capillary but uses a Kelvin probe as a reference electrode which does not touch the surface under investigation.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple, non-pigmented polymer was used for the verification of the model presented in Part 1 and several key experiments were conducted to verify the model.
