Abstract

Poly( o-anisidine)-dodecylbenzenesulfonate (POA-DBSA) coatings were synthesized on stainless steel from aqueous solution containing o-anisidine and dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid by using cyclic voltammetry. These coatings were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Corrosion tests of these coatings were carried out in aqueous 3% NaCl solution by using open circuit potential (OCP) measurements, potentiodynamic polarization technique, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results reveal that POA-DBSA acts as a corrosion protective coating on steel and reduces the corrosion rate (CR) of steel almost by a factor of 14.5.
