摘要

Synthesis of poly(N-methylaniline) (PNMA) on pure iron and Pt electrodes was carried out from aqueous 0.3 M oxalic acid solution containing 0.1 M N-methylaniline (NMA) by potentiodynamic and galvanostatic techniques. It was found that when compared to polyaniline (PAni) and its ring- and N-ethyl-substituted derivatives, PNMA can be electrosynthesized with lower upper scanning potential (upper potential limit, E_upp) of 0.8 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) on an Fe electrode. PNMA coatings were characterized by electrochemical, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR techniques. Linear anodic potentiodynamic polarization results proved that increasing the acidity of the polymerization solution causes more effective protection against corrosion in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ medium for PNMA. Moreover, PNMA exhibited similar protective properties with PAni under the same corrosion test conditions. Tafel test results reveal that the PNMA coating appears to enhance protection for iron in 0.5 M NaCl and 0.1 M HCl solutions. According to EIS results, the PNMA coating is able to offer protection to Fe electrodes in NaCl compared to that in HCl medium over a long immersion period.
