    Journal: Int J Biol Macromol; 2023 Jan 15; 225():1323-1349. PubMed ID: 36435471.
    Abstract:
    Biopolymer chitosan (CS), chitosan grafted acrylamide based titanium dioxide (CS-g-PAM/TiO2) and magnetite (CS-g-PAM/Fe3O4) hybrid nanocomposites have been synthesized through free radical graft co-polymerization and successfully validated as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 15 % HCl solution. The synthesized compounds have been characterized through FTIR, APC, XRD and TEM. The thermal stability of the nanocomposites was established by TGA. The anticorrosive performance was determined through gravimetric measurements and by electrochemical study. According to EIS technique it was observed that CS-g-PAM/TiO2 and CS-g-PAM/Fe3O4 showed maximum 97.19 % and 95.49 % efficiency respectively. Langmuir adsorption isotherm is obeyed in each case. The activation and adsorption parameters have been determined from isotherm study. FESEM and AFM confirmed better adsorption layer formed by composites over mild steel surface. The elemental composition of the metal samples was proved by the XPS investigation. DFT and ANOVA test further corroborates the experimental results.
