chloride) (poly-NDTHDC) were synthesized and tested against API X60
carbon steel corrosion in 15 wt % HCl solution. Weight loss, electrochemical,
and surface analysis techniques were used. Results show that poly-NDTHDC
is better than NDTHDC. Moreover, 1000 mg/L NDTHDC protected the studied
surface by 79.1% at 25 °C, while 100 mg/L poly-NDTHDC afforded
86.1% protection. Inhibition efficiency increases with temperature
(up to 60 °C) but depreciates thereafter. NDTHDC and poly-NDTHDC
perform better under the hydrodynamic condition than the static condition.
TGA and FTIR results reveal that poly-NDTHDC is chemically and thermally
stable.
