Abstract

A novel random copolymer 4, containing diallylmethylamine and N1,N1-diallyl-N1-methyl-N6,N6,N6-tripropylhexane-1,6-diammonium dibromide units in a 1:1 ratio (polymer 4) was synthesized via Butler's cyclopolymerization technique. Characterization was accomplished by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Polymer 4 was tested as corrosion inhibitor for low carbon steel in 15% HCl solution via gravimetric and electrochemical approaches. The analysis of the metal specimen surfaces was done using scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. Polymer 4 is inhibitor for the substrate particularly at elevated temperatures. Corrosion mitigation is by chemisorption mechanism and can be best described with the Langmuir and El-Awady et al. kinetic-thermodynamic adsorption isotherms. Polymer 4 corrosion mitigation capacity can be improved by the addition of a minute amount of I? ions. Inhibition efficiency of 92.99% has been achieved with 500 ppm polymer 4 + 1 mM KI mixture at 25
