Abstract

In recent years, polymer amines have been recognized as an excellent corrosion inhibitors for iron in acid solutions. In this work, the inhibitive effect of p-toluidine and poly(p-toluidine) on corrosion of iron in 1M HCl has been studied by the electrochemical methods such as impedance, linear polarization, Tafel polarization techniques. The effectiveness of poly(p-toluidine) was found to be high in comparison with that of monomer. The results showed that p-toluidine and poly(p-toluidine) suppressed both cathodic and anodic processes of iron dissolution in 1M HCl. The inhibition efficiency of both p-toluidine and poly(p-toluidine) were found to increase with the inhibitor concentrations. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2007
