[ 1 ] - CORROSION INHIBITION OF COPPER IN ACID MEDIUM BY DRUGS: EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL APPROACHES

The inhibition performances of nafcillin (III), methicillin (II) and penicillin G (I) on the corrosion of copper in HCl was studied and tested by weight loss, Tafel polarization, SEM, UV-vis spectrophotometry, molecular dynamics method and quantum chemical calculations. Polarization curves indicated that the studied inhibitors act as mixed-type inhibitors. The values of inhibition efficiency an...

[ 2 ] - Theoretical study for evaluation of corrosion inhibition performance of two thiocarbohydrazide inhibitors

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and Density functional theory (DFT) methods were applied to the two thiocarbohydrazides derivatives (T1 and T2) as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in aqueous phase. Experimental results have shown that the corrosion rate follows the below order: T1>T2. Quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), electrophilicity (ω),polarizability (α), dipole momen...
