Abstract
Polyacrylamide grafted guar gum (GG-g-PAM) with various grafting levels has been tested as potential green inhibitor against corrosion of mild steel in 1M HCl. Upto 86% grafting, grafted copolymer maintains inhibition efficiency higher than 90% for about 50h of exposure. Grafted polysaccharide behaves as mixed type inhibitor and forms an inhibitive layer on the metal surface following Langmuir adsorption isotherm. GG and PAM moieties are found to synergistically influence each other on adsorption and subsequent corrosion inhibition. FTIR spectroscopy reveals the possible binding sites of grafted polymer during adsorption on metal surface.
