Abstract

Polymeric Schiff base containing aniline, formaldehyde and piperazine (AFPP) was synthesized and investigated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M \HCl\ by weight loss measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Experimental results showed that \AFPP\ is an effective inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M \HCl\ and exhibited 98% inhibition efficiency. Potentiodynamic polarization studies showed that \AFPP\ is a mixed-type inhibitor predominantly cathodic type. The adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Activation energy (Ea), standard energy of adsorption (?G
