“…Generally, if the displacement in the E corr is more than ±85 mV with respect to corrosion potential of the blank, the inhibitor can be considered as a distinctive cathodic or anodic type. In the present study, the displacement was not more than ±85 mV (66 mV) and suggests a mixed type of inhibition [24]. Furthermore, there is no significant variation in b a and b c values, which indicates that the presence of CC in corrosive media does not alter the corrosion reaction mechanism, but acts as an adsorptive inhibitor, retarding both anodic and cathodic reactions by blocking the active sites [22,27].…”
