The inhibition efficiency of the synthesized polyester increases with inhibitor concentration.
The adsorption of the inhibitor obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments have shown that an increase in inhibitor concentration causes an increase in charge transfer resistance Rt and a decrease in Cdl value, owing to the increased thickness of the adsorbed layer.
The Tafel slopes obtained from potentiodynamic polarization curves indicate that all the inhibitors behave as mixed type.
The inhibition efficiency obtained from atomic absorption spectrophotometric studies was found to be in good agreement with that obtained from the conventional weight loss method.
