Anti-corrosion protective polymer thin films are used to prevent metal contacting with an aggressive environment. It is known that the density of the polymer film coating can be controlled at the stage of formation its. Based on the results of the simulation of the oxygen ions transport in the polymer film, it was shown that its conductivity increases with an decrease in hte film densitythe. It is also shown that a decrease in the density leads to an increase in the rate of the crack propagation. The images of fractal surfaces simulated on the basis of the Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) algorithm and the reptation model are presented. By comparing the image of the real surface and the simulation results at different values of the coating density, it was shown that there is a correlation between the corrosion resistance and surface texture.
