Copper is the third-most-produced metal globally due to its exceptional mechanical and thermal properties, among others. However, it suffers serious dissolution issues when exposed to corrosive mediums. Herein, two thiazolidinedione derivatives, namely, (Z)-5-(4-methylbenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (MTZD) and (Z)-3-allyl-5-(4-methylbenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (ATZD), were synthesized and applied for corrosion protection of copper in 3.5 wt.% NaCl medium. The corrosion inhibition performance of tested compounds was evaluated at different experimental conditions using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization curves (PPC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). EIS results revealed that the addition of studied inhibitors limited the dissolution of copper in NaCl solution, leading to a high polarization resistance compared with the blank solution. In addition, PPC suggested that tested compounds had a mixed-type effect, decreasing anodic and cathodic corrosion reactions. Moreover, surface characterization by AFM indicated a significant decrease in surface roughness of copper after the addition of inhibitors. Outcomes from the present study suggest that ATZD (IE% = 96%) outperforms MTZD (IE% = 90%) slightly, due to the presence of additional –C3H5 unit (–CH2–CH = CH2) in the molecular scaffold of MTZD.

The study of the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acid medium 1 M HCl by the Schiff base compounds named {4,4′-Bis(pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde) diphenyl diimino sulfide (L1) and 4,4′-Bis(thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde) diphenyl diimino sulfide (L2)} was carried out using various techniques: weight loss measurements, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The influence of the concentration, immersion time and temperature was examined and the mode of adsorption of these inhibitors on the surface of the metal was highlighted by assigning the appropriate isotherm. The experimental results indicate that these compounds are effective corrosion inhibitors and the inhibitory competence rises with increasing inhibitor concentration. The adsorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface obeys the isotherm of Langmuir. The correlation between the molecular structures and the inhibitory properties of the compounds studied was performed using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has been taken into account. The results indicate that the adsorption energy of L1 was less than L2, which is in accordance with the experimentally determined inhibition effect.

The synthesis and corrosion inhibition performance of poly(butylene-succinate)-L-proline (PBSLP) prepared by solution polymerization are reported. PBSLP was characterized by FTIR, XRD, and SEM/energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). PBSLP was used to protect mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid. An SEM and an atomic force microscope (AFM) were used to characterize the surface morphology of the mild steel coupons. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterize the inhibition mechanism of PBSLP, and the inhibitor was a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor with a maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency of 93.0%. Adsorption studies revealed the adsorption of PBSLP to be a monolayer process and therefore, obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model.

Four 2-thiohydantoin derivatives were synthesized and their corrosion inhibition properties on mild steel (MS) in 0.5M HCl solution was evaluated using usual gravimetric and electrochemical methods (weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Morphology of the metal surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The study has shown that these compounds provide good protection for mild steel against corrosion in the acidic medium.

Thin films of pure silver were deposited on glass substrate by thermal evaporation process at room temperature. Surface characterization of the films was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Thickness of the films varied between 20 nm and 72.8 nm. XRD analysis provided a sharp peak at 38.75° from silver. These results indicated that the films deposited on glass substrates at room temperature are crystalline. Three-dimension and top view pictures of the films were obtained by AFM to study the grain size and its dependency on various factors. Average grain size increased with the thickness of the deposited films. A minimum grain size of 8 nm was obtained for 20 nm thick films, reaching 41.9 nm when the film size reaches 60 nm. Grain size was calculated from the information provided by the XRD spectrum and averaging method. We could not find any sequential variation in the grain size with the growth rate.

The present work describes, for the first time, the electrodeposition of NiSn alloy/reduced graphene oxide composite coatings (NiSn-rGO) obtained under pulse current electrodeposition conditions from deep eutectic solvents (choline chloride: ethylene glycol eutectic mixtures) containing well-dispersed GO nanosheets. The successful incorporation of the carbon-based material into the metallic matrix has been confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and cross-section scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A decrease in the crystallite size of the coating was evidenced when graphene oxide was added to the electrolyte. Additionally, the topography and the electrical properties of the materials were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The corrosion behavior in 0.5 M NaCl solution was analyzed through potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods for different immersion periods, up to 336 h, showing a slightly better corrosion performance as compared to pure NiSn alloy.

The ecofriendly poly(butylene succinate) extended with 1,6-diisocynatohexane composted with L-histidine (PBSLH) polymer composite was synthesized by condensation polymerization. The polymer composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX). The inhibition action of the polymer composite was investigated by conventional weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, variable amplitude micro (VASP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency of 78 % was obtained at concentration level of 600 ppm. The results revealed PBSLH as a mixed type corrosion inhibitor. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters also revealed adsorption of PBSLH on to mild surface as exothermic and the adsorption was conformed to Langmuir model. The morphology of mild steel coupons was investigated by SEM and atomic force microscope (AFM) and the results showed PBSLH to have inhibited corrosion on mild steel in 1 M HCL.

Abstract Mild steel (a low carbon steel) is an affordable engineering material used for many purposes in various environments including mild acidic environment with some precautions. The corrosion behaviour of mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.5 M HCl, in the temperature range (303–323 K) without and with the inhibitor N-[(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) methyleneamino]-4-hydroxy-benzamide (DMHB), was investigated using Potentiodynamic polarization and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques supplementing with surface characterization study using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force spectroscopy (AFM). Experimental observations were found to be in agreement with Density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The inhibition efficiency increases with increase in DMHB concentration and showed maximum inhibition efficiency of 86% in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 81% in 0.5 M HCl, respectively, at concentration of 3 × 10─3 M at 303 K. The inhibition efficiency of DMHB obtained relatively at its lower concentration (3 × 10─3 M) compared to other reported related compounds confirms its potential towards corrosion inhibition. The variation in the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters indicated physisorption of DMHB on MS and its mixed type inhibitive action followed Langmuir’s isotherm model. DFT calculations go along with the experimental results, signifying the potential corrosion inhibition behaviour of DMHB for MS in both the acid media.
