Conducting Polymer Films on Zn Deposited Carbon Electrode

Abstract

Zn plating on carbon steel (CS) was achieved applying current of 4 mA with galvanostatic technique in acidic medium. Zn particles had homogenous, smooth with spherical structure. It was shown that the Zn particles exhibited active behavior on CS substrate. Poly(aniline), poly(pyrrole), poly(N-methylpyrrole) and poly(o-anisidine) homopolymer films were obtained on CS/Zn electrode. Evaluation of anticorrosion performance of these homopolymer coatings in 3.5 % NaCl solution was investigated by using AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique, anodic polarization and the Eocp-time curves. Homopolymer films exhibited significant physical barrier behavior on Zn plated carbon steel, in longer exposure time.
