Solvent-starved conditions in confinement cause chemical oscillations excited by passage of a cathodic delamination front

Abstract

After passage of a delamination front at a polymer/zinc interface, pH oscillations and oscillations in the quantity of corrosion products are observed. The reason for these oscillations is the low quantity of water in the confined reaction volume, water consumption by oxygen reduction, and water regeneration after precipitation of ZnO.
