Acrylate/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites were prepared using sol-gel method. Carbon nanotubes with different percentage (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0%) incorporated into acrylate and deposited on mild steel. Surface of acrylate/carbon nanotubes composites were characterized using by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Carbon nanotubes uniformly distributed in acrylate observed by FESEM shows increase in percentage of carbon nanotubes blend with acrylate the peak distribution become decreases.

In this study, poly(m-aminophenol) (PMAP) coating was electrochemically synthesized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) on mild steel surface to investigate the effects of its barrier protection within the scope of its electrochemical impedance towards further oxidation of the mild steel substrates. The developed PMAP coating were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The barrier resistance ability of PMAP coating towards corrosion of mild steel was determined in 0.5 M aqueous sodium chloride solution (NaCl) at various immersion times by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The barrier properties were interpreted through impedance measurement using Nyquist and Bode plots. Equivalent electrical circuit models derived from the plots were employed to describe the coating barrier behaviour and performance. Data obtained showed that, the oxidation peak of PMAP coating were observed at potential +1.0 V (Ag/AgCl). The micrograph of FESEM indicates the formation of a dense and continous PMAP coatings. In FTIR analyses, the presence of peak around 1082 cm-1 ascribed to C–O–C etheric linkage which supported the formation of electro polymerized PMAP coating on mild steel surface. EIS measurement revealed that, PMAP coatings experienced a significant drop in total impedance values with time followed by the development of an electrochemical reactions on coating/metal interface, which indicates the gradual degradation of the barrier resistance ability of the PMAP coatings.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl. Design/methodology/approach – A pharmaceutical drug acetyl G was investigated for its corrosion inhibition efficiency using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Findings – The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. Results from polarisation studies revealed mixed type of inhibition. Impedance studies, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform spectroscopy confirm the adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface. Research limitations/implications – The drug acetyl G has sulphur and nitrogen atoms which effectively block the corrosion of mild steel and is non-toxic and has good inhibition efficiency. Practical implications – This method provides an excellent, non-toxic and cost-effective material as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium. Originality/value – Application of this drug as a corrosion inhibitor has not been reported yet in the literature. Replacing the organic inhibitors, this green inhibitor shows excellent inhibition efficiency. This is adsorbed excellently on the mild steel surface due to the presence of long chain and hetero atoms. Thus, the drug retards the corrosion reaction.
