Electrochemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole on platinum electrode in acid medium was carried out. Different reaction parameters were investigated such as current density, acid concentration, monomer concentration, and temperature with duration of time. The orders of the electropolymerization reaction were found to be 1.3, 1.26, and 1.2 with respect to current density, acid concentration, and monomer concentration, respectively. The apparent activation energy was found to be 38.3 kJ mol Ϫ1 . The obtained polymer films were characterized by 1 H-NMR, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and cyclic voltammetry. The mechanism of the electrochemical polymerization reaction was also discussed. The surface morphology of the obtained polymer film was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solutions using electropolymerized Poly 2-aminobenzothiazole, P(2ABT), was evaluated using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements at different temperature. Results showed that the inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the concentration of P(2ABT) up to 12.7 9 10 -6 mol L -1 and decreases with raising the temperature. Polarization curves indicate that the studied compound acts as anodic inhibitor. Thermodynamic activation parameters for both dissolution and adsorption processes are calculated and discussed as well as the adsorption isotherms are calculated. Gibbs free energy value confirms the physical nature of the adsorption, also the mechanism of inhibition is discussed. Scanning electron microscopy is used to study the surface morphology of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution in the absence and presence of 12.7 9 10 -6 mol L -1 P(2ABT). Data obtained from all techniques are in a good agreement with each other.
