“…According to different authors (Dominis et al, 2003;Cook et al, 2004), at least three different configurations of PAni used as a corrosion protector have been reported: coatings alone, such as solution cast PAni films formed or electrochemically synthesized (Santos et al, 1998;Huerta-Vilca et al, 2003b, 2004aFahlman et al, 1997), coatings as primer with a conventional polymer topcoat (Dominis et al, 2003;Talo et al, 1997), and PAni blended with a conventional polymer coating or polymer coatings containing PAni as an additive (Galkowski et al, 2005;Samui et al, 2003;Sathiyanarayanan et al, 2009). Kinlen et al (Kinlen et al, 1997) and other authors Oliveira et al, 2009) observed that the electrochemically produced conducting polymers, as PAni, shift the corrosion potential (E corr ) of the metal to the passive region, maintaining a protective oxide layer on the metal and minimizing the rate of metal dissolution (Eq. 1).…”
