Abstract

The corrosion protective poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine) (PAOT) coatings were synthesized on copper (Cu) by the electrochemical copolymerization of aniline with o-toluidine under cyclic voltammetry conditions. Aqueous oxalate solutions were used as the supporting electrolytes for the synthesis of PAOT coatings on Cu. The resulting coatings were characterized by different spectroscopic techniques, cyclic voltammetry, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and scanning electron microscopy. The Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies reveal that the copolymerization of aniline and o-toluidine takes place on Cu substrates from an aqueous oxalate solutions and resulting in PAOT copolymer, there are more o-toluidine units than aniline units.
