The effect of surface oxide layers on the oxidative behaviour of imidazole-treated copper

Scanning microelectrochemical characterization of the anti-corrosion performance of inhibitor films formed by 2-mercaptobenzimidazole on copper

“…They effectively protect these metals in various aggressive environments, and the most accepted mechanism to describe their operation involves the formation of a chemisorbed layer of these organic molecules on the metals. In particular, the adsorption of such layer on copper is considered to be favoured when copper oxides already exist on the surface of the metal [5,[13][14][15][16][17], though the formation of a complex film of the inhibitor on the base metal has also been reported [5,[18][19][20][21]. Though adsorption at the surface is regarded to be the first step in the process [15,22], the actual mechanism is not yet fully ascertained, neither the chemical nature of the resulting inhibitor films is completely established, though the knowledge of both is necessary towards the development of new and more effective inhibitors.…”

Complex-induced coupling effect: adhesion of some polymers to copper metal promoted by benzimidazole

“…The consensus is that BIMH can react with surface oxides on metals to form a metal-azole complex [11,12]. Although a few researchers realized that azole might react with copper metal [13,14], the detailed chemistry, such as the conditions under which the reactions may take place, the structures of the products and by-products, and the reaction scheme, has not yet been revealed. We found that imidazole solution can react with a chemically cleaned surface of copper, silver, and nickel in the presence of oxygen; and the reaction scheme has been proposed in our early reports [3,4].…”

Infrared spectroscopic study of SiOx film formation and decomposition of vinyl silane derivative by heat treatment. II. On copper surface

“…In each sample, the heat-treatment temperature and SiO x film-formation mechanism of the copolymer. [11][12][13][14] In addition, the peak (3063 cm 01 ) from the double bond polymer film are assigned in Table I. R-A spectra of the copolymer films (1.5 mm) coated The outstanding spectral changes with increasing heating time are observed in spectrum E. The on copper plates with increasing heating time at 360ЊC.…”
