“…Among organic inhibitors, conducting polymer attracts much attention because of its ability to protect metals in aggressive environment. , As a conducting polymer, polyaniline (PANI) is considered an appropriate candidate because of its facile synthesis, environmental stability, redox reversible activity, and controllable electrical conductivity by chemical doping. , PANI is the most promising corrosion inhibitor at very low concentrations because its molecular structure exhibits the extensive delocalization of π electrons. , The organic inhibitors containing the heteroatoms such as N, P, and S, − unsaturated bonds and conjugated systems with aromatic cycles , ensure their adsorption on the metal’s surface. These inhibitors can therefore interact with the metal to form a protective film that hinders the physical contact of aggressive species with the metal surface in the acidic medium .…”
