Abstract

The corrosion inhibitive effect of Poly (p-Anisidine) on iron in 1M HCl with various concentrations were studied by using electrochemical methods such as impedance measurements and polarization techniques. The inhibition efficiency (IE) of Poly (p- Anisidine) was compared with its monomer and it was observed that there is a remarkable increase for the polymer. Further, it is found that the value of IE increases with increasing concentrations for both monomer and polymer of p-Anisidine.
