The study on the action of Acetylcholine and Rivastigmine as Corrosion Inhibitors of Cu – Sn - Zn – Pb Alloy in Hydrochloric Acid Environment was carried out using density functional theory, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Potentiodynamic polarization, Scanning electron microscopy and weight loss. The result revealed that both Acetylcholine and Rivastigmine expired drugs were good inhibitors of Cu – Sn - Zn – Pb Alloy in Hydrochloric Acid Environment. This was confirmed from results of weight loss (99.1 % and 95.0 %), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) (92.5 % and 91.8 %), and Potentiodynamic polarization (97.4 % and 87.1 %). Both inhibitors were able to increase the charge transfer resistance and corrosion current densities of the electrical solution and reduce the double layer capacitance of the metal – solution interface. Inhibition was as a result of adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the Cu – Sn - Zn – Pb surface. Thermodynamically, inhibitors showed greater stability on metal surface, spontaneous in the forward direction and reduction in level of disorderliness. Inhibitors demonstrated a mixed type inhibition while physical adsorption mechanism was proposed for the inhibitor – metal interaction. Langmuir adsorption isotherm was obeyed as data fitted adequately to the isotherm and regression coefficient was approximately unity. A monolayer adsorption was deduces.

The experiments were done to find some good corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 5% HF solution by the method of weight loss and electrochemistry including polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results show that the thiourea, potassium thiocyanate, and hexamethylenetetramine have good inhibition effect for mild steel in 5% HF solution, especially potassium thiocyanate and thiourea. Their corrosion resistance was greatly enhanced in the presence of tested inhibitor. Thiourea is an anodic type inhibitor and its inhibition efficiencies up to 99.88% can be obtained. Equivalent circuit of the investigated system was suggested.

Brass as an alloy composed mainly of copper is great industrial uses such as heat exchangers and similar other facility due to its good thermal properties. Due to the presence of the considerable ratio of zinc the alloy suffers from zinc dissolution or dezincification. Dezincification rate increases with the increase in the ratio of zinc in the alloy. In this study benzothiazole (BTH) and its substituent’s 2-methylbenzothiazole (MeBTH), 2-aminobenzothiazole (ABTH), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBTH) and 2-phenylbenzothiazole (PhBTH) have been used as corrosion inhibitors for α-brass in stirred 0.1 M HClO4. The methods of investigation include weight loss, Tafel and linear polarizations and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The order of inhibition efficiency (%E) was calculated and the values obtained has indicated the sequence of inhibition efficiency was found to be BTH < MeBTH < ABTH < PhBTH < MBTH. The calculated values of thermodynamic parameters support this order. The inhibitors were found to suppress the corrosion rate by the formation of films which were identified by IR, SEM and EDAX techniques.

This paper investigates the Isoniazid as chemical corrosion inhibitors for brass in 3.0% NaCl solution of different pH, employing polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS), weight loss, and SEM. It is found that the inhibition efficiency of Isoniazid enhances with the increasing of the solution pH, from about 71% at pH 6.5 to 92% at pH 10.5. This improvement is attributed to the stronger adsorption of Isoniazid in alkaline solution, to prevent the occuring of the corrosion reaction of brass.

The corrosion inhibition consequence of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (APOT) and 5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (MPOT) were accomplished by employing weight loss measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization measurement and scanning electron microscope (SEM). An impact of immersion time 12.0 h and different temperatures (298, 308 and 318 K) with solution of 1.0 M HCl, which include various concentration of inhibitor at the corrosion of mild steel were designed. Weight loss measurement showed that with enhancing the concentration of these studied inhibitors the percentage inhibition efficiency (IE%) enhances, but corrosion rate (CR) diminishes while reverse condition in case of temperatures change. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy examine pointed out that the charge transfer resistance (Rct) values enhances and consequently the double layer capacitance (Cdl) values diminishes with rising each inhibitor concentration in 1.0 M HCl and also there is a formation of adsorption coating at the metal surface. Polarization measurement showed that both APOT and MPOT perform as mixed type corrosion inhibitors. Furthermore, the adsorption behaviour on surface of mild steel for each studied inhibitor results the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Surface conduct of mild steel also designed through the SEM and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and concludes that there is evolution of inhibitive film of APOT and MPOT on the surface of mild steel.

The protection of mild steel by modified epoxy coating containing colophony microencapsulated corrosion inhibitors was investigated in this study. The corrosion behavior of these epoxy coatings containing colophony microcapsules was studied by electrochemical analysis using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The microcapsule coating showed decreased corrosion current densities of 2.75 × 10−8 and 3.21 × 10−8 A/cm2 along with corrosion potential values of 0.349 and 0.392 VSCE for simulated concrete pore solution and deionized water with 3.5 wt.% NaCl, respectively, indicating improved corrosion protection in both alkaline and neutral pH. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis also showed charge transfer resistance values over one order of magnitude higher than the control sample, corroborating the electrochemical corrosion potential and current density testing results. Overall, the use of colophony microcapsules showed improved corrosion protection in simulated concrete pore solution and DI water solutions containing chloride ions.

Aggregation of amyloid-β (aβ) peptides into toxic oligomers, fibrils, and plaques is central in the molecular pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is the primary focus of AD diagnostics. Disaggregation or elimination of toxic aβ aggregates in patients is important for delaying the progression of neurodegenerative disorders in AD. Recently, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinepropanesulfonic acid (EPPS) was introduced as a chemical agent that binds with toxic aβ aggregates and transforms them into monomers to reduce the negative effects of aβ aggregates in the brain. However, the mechanism of aβ disaggregation by EPPS has not yet been completely clarified. In this study, an electrochemical impedimetric immunosensor for aβ diagnostics was developed by immobilizing a specific anti-amyloid-β (aβ) antibody onto a self-assembled monolayer functionalized with a new interdigitated chain-shaped electrode (anti-aβ/SAM/ICE). To investigate the ability of EPPS in recognizing AD by extricating aβ aggregation, commercially available aβ aggregates (aβagg) were used. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to probe the changes in charge transfer resistance (Rct) of the immunosensor after the specific binding of biosensor with aβagg. The subsequent incubation of the aβagg complex with a specific concentration of EPPS at different time intervals divulged AD progression. The decline in the Rct of the immunosensor started at 10 min of EPPS incubation and continued to decrease gradually from 20 min, indicating that the accumulation of aβagg on the surface of the anti-aβ/SAM/ICE sensor has been extricated. Here, the kinetic disaggregation rate k value of aβagg was found to be 0.038. This innovative study using electrochemical measurement to investigate the mechanism of aβagg disaggregation by EPPS could provide a new perspective in monitoring the disaggregation periods of aβagg from oligomeric to monomeric form, and then support for the prediction and handling AD symptoms at different stages after treatment by a drug, EPPS.
