Abstract
Corrosion is probably the best known of the deterioration mechanisms which can affect materials in the marine environment and much attention is rightly paid to its avoidance. Strictly, corrosion is a phenomenon which only affects metals, but there are a variety of ‘weathering’ and other environmental deterioration phenomena which can affect plastics and other non-metallic materials, and these are also dealt with in this chapter. Deterioration due to the effects (direct or indirect) of living organisms are also discussed, although quantitative data in this area are somewhat limited. Despite the fact that it is not strictly a deterioration phenomenon, marine fouling is also included in this latter category.
