  • Title: Synthesis, characterization and electrochemical analysis of cysteine modified polymers for corrosion inhibition of mild steel in aqueous 1 M HCl.
    Author: Jafar Mazumder MA.
    Journal: RSC Adv; 2019 Jan 30; 9(8):4277-4294. PubMed ID: 35520193.
    Abstract:
    Butler's cyclopolymerization protocol was used to synthesize homo and copolymers of cysteine residues and diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) using water as a solvent and excellent yields were obtained. The structural composition of the polymers was determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies. The thermal stability of the synthesized polymers was determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The corrosion efficiencies and adsorption characteristics of these polymers on mild steel were evaluated using gravimetric weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The copolymers of cysteine residues and DADMAC exhibited excellent inhibition efficiencies in arresting mild steel corrosion in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) at 60 °C. The best fitted Langmuir, Temkin and Freundlich adsorption isotherms suggested that the adsorption process occurs through chemisorption and physisorption. The surface morphology of mild steel in the presence or absence of polymers was determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This systematic study might provide a way to design new inhibitor compounds that could be beneficial in the field of biomedical science as well as for anti-corrosion applications.
