    CORRELATION BETWEEN INHIBITION EFFICIENCY AND CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF NEW INDOLO IMIDAZOLINE ON THE CORROSION OF MILD STEEL IN MOLAR HCL WITH DFT EVIDENCES
    (Oriental Journal of Chemistry, 2015-06-12) Sowmya, Ramkumar; Nalini, D
    The present work aims at the synthesis, characterization and study on the inhibitive effect of indoloimidazoline derivative (DI) on mild steel in 1M HCl. Weight loss measurement and electrochemical AC and DC corrosion monitoring techniques are performed at 308 K using mild steel specimens immersed in 1M HCl in the presence and absence of DI. Polarisation curves indicated that DI acted as a mixed type inhibitor. The indoloimidazoline derivative having nitrogen atoms in its molecular structure are adsorbed on the metal surface through these active centres and that the extent of inhibition is directly related to the formation of the adsorption layer according to Langmuir isotherm model on the mild steel surface which is sensitive function of the molecular structure. Quantum chemical calculations performed using DFT B3LYP 6-31G (d, p) basis set within the program Gaussian 09 showed the adsorption sites for DI on mild steel. Experimental and theoretical findings agreed well with each other.

    POLYESTER-BENTONITE CLAY COMPOSITE: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION AS ANTICORROSIVE AGENT
    (Oriental Journal of Chemistry, 2015-08-20) Subramanian, Chitra; Sounthari, Palanisamy; Kiruthika, Ayyasamy; Parameswari, Kandasamy
    New polyester-bentonite clay composite was prepared and characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM& XRD. The XRD and SEM studies are quite supportive of well dispersed polymer clay composite formation. The thermal stability of the polymer was significantly improved as indicated by TGA. The composite was evaluated for its inhibition performance for mild steel corrosion in 1M H2 SO4 by weight loss, polarization and electrochemical impedance techniques. The studies reveal that the clay composite was an excellent adsorption type inhibitor and obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Electrochemical studies showed that the polymer composite was a mixed inhibitor retarding both anodic metal dissolution and cathodic hydrogen evolution
