Abstract—It has been shown that, owing to the application of a multilayer design (construction) and the correct
choice of technology and materials, the following results on enhancement of the continuity of polymeric pro-
tective coatings (PCs) may be achieved: (1) a reduction in the technological defectiveness to a preassigned level
due to overlapping of flaws, even at a high specific defectiveness of the materials used in the PC layers; (2) an
increase in the resistance to cracking of rigid PC layers and hard substrates because of the redistribution of inter-
nal stresses in the substrate–multilayer PC system; and (3) an enhancement in PC resistance to cracking on the
opening-up of a crack in the substrate under tension or bending.
