Electrochemical synthesis and corrosion behaviour of poly (pyrrole-co-o-anisidine-co-o-toluidine) (original) (raw)

Current Applied Physics

Abstract

In this study, a ter-polymer film of pyrrole, o-anisidine and o-toluidine has been electrochemically synthesized on low carbon steel. The synthesis solution was aqueous oxalic acid containing 2:1:1 monomer feed ratio between pyrrole, o-anisidine and o-toluidine, respectively. The characterization of synthesized ter-polymer film was realized with help of UV–Vis absorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The stability of this ter-polymer film as a coating material has also been investigated on steel, in 3.5% NaCl solution. Under such severe conditions, the ter-polymer film was found to exhibit low permeability against water ingress. It was able to exhibit protective coating behavior on steel, even after 72 h exposure time. The DSC results revealed that the ter-polymer film had better thermal stability with respect to single polypyrrole film. The synthesized ter-polymer film was...
