- Abstract
Electroactive polymer films of polyaniline, poly-o-toluidine and a composite of both were deposited on stainless steel and their performance as protective coatings against corrosion was evaluated. Open circuit potential and potentiodynamic studies of the polymer-coated stainless steel in a corrosive medium showed a significant shift in the corrosion potential towards more positive values. Mechanical characteristics of the films were evaluated by means of microhardness measurements, revealing nonelastic films in all cases and low hardness values that increased from polyaniline to poly-o-toluidine to the composite. The best results were obtained in the case of the polyaniline-o-toluidine composite.
