This document summarizes the electrochemical synthesis and corrosion inhibiting properties of a poly N-methyl aniline coating doped with di N-propyl malonic acid on stainless steel. Cyclic voltammetry was used to electrochemically polymerize N-methyl aniline on stainless steel electrodes in a solution containing di N-propyl malonic acid. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization techniques showed that the resulting polymer coating provided excellent corrosion protection for the stainless steel in 0.5M sulfuric acid solution, with inhibition efficiencies above 98%.

This paper deals with the study of the carbon/metal oxide composites synthesis for electrochemical capacitor electrode material. Transition metal salts, such as FeCl3 and TiCl3 act as activator in the synthesis of activated carbon from gelam wood sawdust (Melaleuca cajuputi Powell) which also have the functions as substrates for the composites. The surface functionalities of activated carbons were modified using oxidative treatments. The changes on crystallography and surface functionalities were analyzed based on XRD and FTIR data. The electrical conductivities and electrochemical properties were determined using kelvin and cyclic voltammetry methods, respectively. FTIR analyses showed that the activation and oxidation treatments affected their surface functionalities. The XRD analyses showed that oxidative treatments also affected carbons crystallite. The electrical conductivities and electrochemical properties were influenced by their crystallite and surface functionalities. The shape of the cyclic voltammograms varied according to the changes on the surface functionalities and on the metals loading. TEM analyses indicated the existence of nanoparticles metal oxides in the carbon samples.

Experimental and Quantum Chemical Studies on the Corrosion Inhibition Perform...inventionjournals
Corrosion inhibition nature of a synthesized Schiff’s base was studied on the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl using weight loss and electrochemical methods. The results indicated that the synthesized Schiff base is an effective inhibitor in reducing the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution. The inhibitor efficiency of inhibitor increased with inhibitor concentration and showed maximum inhibition efficiency at 300 ppm concentration. The adsorption of inhibitor molecules on to the metal surface obeyed Langmuir Adsorption isotherm. The adsorption mechanism involved both physical and chemical adsorptions. The potentiodynamic polarization studies showed that the inhibitor is a mixed typed inhibitor with more cathodic nature. Potential of zero charge was also determined and the adsorption mechanism discussed. Quantum mechanical studies showed that the Schiff base molecules have the strong tendency to donate electron pairs to the metallic atoms on the surface
Corrosion Inhibition of Carbon Steel In Sulfuric Acid by Sodium CaprylateIJERA Editor
The interaction of a sodium salt of octanoic acid, sodium caprylate (SC), with a carbon steel (CS) surface was
investigated, using range of experimental techniques. It was shown that SC acts as a good CS general corrosion
inhibitor, yielding a maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency of 77%. This high inhibition efficiency is
maintained even at higher temperatures. It was determined that SC inhibits both partial corrosion reactions, and
can thus be considered to be a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption of SC on the CS surface was described by
the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. It was found that this process is spontaneous, irreversible and driven by the
entropy gain. The CS surface morphology was studied by SEM and it was demonstrated that SC is a very
effective general corrosion inhibitor of CS. This also was confirmed by contact angle measurements which
showed that the CS surface became more hydrophobic when the SC was added to the solution.

Some factors affecting on the behavior ofsteel electrode in citric acid solut...IJERA Editor
Potential-time curves are constructed for the steel electrode in naturally aerated citric acid solutions devoid of
and containing some aggressive and inhibitive compounds. Cl- and SO4
2- ions cause the destruction of passivity
and initiation of pitting corrosion. The rate of oxide film growth by citric acid and oxide film destruction by Cl-
and SO4
2- ions follows a direct logarithmic law as evident from the linear relationships between the open-circuit
potential and the logarithm of immersion time. Urea, phenylhydrazine and 1,2-phenylenediamine compounds
inhibit the pitting corrosion of steel. The rate of oxide film healing and thickening increases with their
concentrations. In presence of constant inhibitor concentration, the efficiency of pitting inhibition increases in
the order: (weak) urea<phenylhydrazine><1,2-phenylenediamine(strong).
Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in HCl Medium by a Condensation Productijtsrd
A condensation product CP was successfully synthesized from reaction of dimethyl amino benzaldehyde and aniline giving yields of 80 . The compound was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared FTIR Spectroscopy. The corrosion inhibiting property of the CP on mild steel in HCl solution were investigated by the weight loss measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS and linear polarization resistance LPR . The concentrations of CP were varied from 1 x 10 3 M to 5 x 10 3 M. The inhibition efficiencies obtained from all the methods employed were in good agreement where the percentage of inhibition efficiencies increased with concentration of CP. Results showed that CP was the better inhibitor with inhibition efficiency of 90 at 5 x 10 3 M additive concentration. This is likely due to the effect of its large molecular size, higher number of electroactive heteroatoms and bigger p electron cloud of the conjugated double bond system.

Recent progress in non platinum counter electrode materials for dye sensitize...Science Padayatchi
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have gained increasing attention
with regard to photovoltaic devices, because of their low
cost and simple fabrication methods; they are mostly investigated
in indoor light-harvesting and portable applications. The
focus has been on three main parameters of photovoltaic devices,
that is, lifetime, and cost effectiveness. A DSSC consists of
four prominent components including a photoanode, a photosensitizer,
a redox electrolyte, and a counter electrode. The
counter electrode is a crucial component, in which triiodide is
reduced to iodide by electrons flowing through the external
circuit. An effective approach to improve the performance of
a counter electrode is to enhance the power conversion efficiency
and to reduce the cost of the device. Platinum-coated
conducting glass electrodes give the best performance, but
their high cost and the scarcity of platinum restricts large-scale
application in DSSCs. This has prompted researchers to develop
low-costing platinum-free electrodes for DSSCs. In this
review, we focus mainly on counter electrode materials for the
electrocatalytic redox reaction for the I¢/I¢
3 electrolyte, and
apart from this, other counter electrode materials for iodinefree
redox electrolytes are discussed. Different counter electrode
materials are highlighted in different categories such as
carbon materials, conducting polymers, oxide and sulfide materials,
transition-metal nitrides and carbides, and composite
materials. The stability of counter electrodes in DSSCs is also
presented.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.

MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.

RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA

Abstract: Electrochemical synthesis of poly N-methyl aniline (PNMA) was achieved on Teflon coated
cylindrical stainless steel electrodes with base diameter 2mm . N-methyl aniline in di N-propyl malonic acid
was polymerized on the surface of stainless steel using cyclic voltametry technique. Adherent and red polymer
films were obtained on the electrodes.. The corrosion inhibitive performance of PNMA+DPM , coated
electrodes were investigated in 0.5 N H2SO4 solutions by potentiodynamic polarization technique and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
I. Introduction
Potential applications of conducting polymers such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPY) and poly
thiophene (PTP) in batteries [1–4], electronic devices [5–8], displays [9], sensors [10], electrodes [11],
electronic tongue [12], nanotubes or nanorods [13] and molecular electronics [14– 17] are well known. There
are mainly two routes for the preparation of CPs: chemical and electrochemical polymerization [18,19]. Barring
direct formation of films of various CPs in electrochemical polymerization, chemical oxidative polymerization
has also attracted much attention because of the cost-effective production in the latter system [18]. Among
various CPs, PANI is unique in nature from the viewpoint that its electrical behaviour can be reversibly
controlled by charge-transfer doping and by protonation and it has a good environmental stability [20]. PANI
can exist in four different structural forms: (i) leucomeraldine base, (ii) emeraldine base, (iii) pernigraniline base
and (iv) metallic emeraldine salt [21]. The emerladine salt has low electrical conductivity and it can be
improved by doping with various protonic acids [22]. Numerous oxidant systems including transition metal
salts were reported for the chemical polymerization of aniline (ANI) [18]. In particular, polymerization of ANI
can be conventionally achieved by using (NH4)2S2O8/HCl as the oxidant system [23]. Laska et al. [24] described
precipitation polymerization of ANI by the conventional oxidant in presence of water-soluble organic acids
instead of HCl. The conductive polymers have also been discussed in recent years as corrosion controlling
materials [25–44].
Since electrochemical synthesis takes place directly on the metal surface, it is expected to have better
adherence than that of chemically synthesized PANi. The main problems of the electrochemical synthesis are
essentially related to the nature of the metal, since each metal needs specific conditions to deposit the
conducting polymer. An important criterion for the success of the electrochemical polymerization reaction is the
choice of proper solvent which should have a high dielectric constant, low viscosity and a low freezing point.
Most of the electrochemical polymerizations are carried out in non-aqueous media. The most suitable solvents
currently in use include acetonitrile, benzonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran [45,46–53]. Two corrosion protection
mechanisms commonly associated with conducting polymer coatings are passivation and barrier effect. Firstly,
the oxidation or pasivation of the metal shift the corrosion potential towards more positive values and modifying
the oxygen reduction reaction [54–58]. In this case, the metallic substrate is protected by passivation mechanism
provide by redox chemistry of conducting polymer. Thus, some microporosity in the coatings does not bring a
great trouble, because the system has intrinsically the capacity to supply the charge necessary to reoxidize the
metal for a stationary passive film healing. A good electronic conductivity is required for them, since the charge
must be available during a short time [59]. Secondly, the conducting polymer coatings can only protect the
metallic surface by the barrier effect which avoids the contact with the corrosive medium as a result of no
porosity or by the formation of an adherent oxide layer [60–62]. The aim of this work is first, to obtain an
adherent, conducting films of the poly N –methyl aniline doped with di N-propyl malonic acid using cyclic
voltametry on 304-stainless steel substrate. Second,to investigate the protecting nature of this flim against
corrosion of 304-stainless steel in 0.5 M sulphuric acid solution electrochemical methods namely
electrochemical impedence spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization techniques.

II. Experimental
2.1. Electrochemical synthesis on stainless steel
N-methyl aniline (Aldrich) was vacuum-distilled and maintained in nitrogen atmosphere. di N-
propyl malonic acid was used without further purification. The electrochemical cell used for the
polymerization had a three electrode setup,in which a platinum foil served as counter electrode , a Ag wire
coated with AgCl in saturated KCl served as reference electrode and a Teflon coated cylindrical stainless steel
rod served as working electrode. The electrodes were polished with 1000 and 1200- grit emery papers prior to
polymerization to get smooth surface and then degreased with etanol and acetone in an ultrasonic cleaner to
remove impurities from the surface. Finally, the electrodes were rinsed with acetonitrile and dried. Electro
deposition was performed by cyclic potential sweeping in the potential range between -1.2 and +1.4 V (versus
Ag/AgCl, saturated KCl) at a scan rate of 50 mV/ s. using a potentiostat PARSTAT 2273, an advanced
electrochemical instrument.
2.2. ELECTROCHEMICAL IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS
The electrochemical impedance measurements were carried out using the same potentiostat
(PARSTAT 2273, Princeton Applied Research, USA) and same electrode set up in 0.5M H2SO4 solution. Data
acquisition was performed utilizing the Power Suite software and analyzed using Zsimp Win software(version
3.21). The measurements were carried out in the frequency range 106
–10−2
Hz at the open circuit potential by
super imposing sinusoidal AC signal of small amplitude, 10 mV, after immersing 30 minutes in the corrosive
media. The double layer capacitance (Cdl) and charge transfer resistance (Rct) were obtained from the
impedance plots as described elsewhere [63]. Because Rct is inversely proportional to corrosion current density,
it was used to determine the inhibition efficiency (IE%) using the relationship
Where Rct and Ro
ct are the charge transfer resistance values of polymer coated and uncoated stainless steel
electrodes respectively.
2.3. POLARIZATION MEASUREMENTS
The potentiodynamic polarization curves were recorded for polymer coated and uncoated stainless steel
electrodes respectively using the same cell setup employed for the impedance measurements. The potentials
were swept at the rate of 1.66mVs−1
, primarily from a more negative potential than Eocp to a more positive
potential than Eocp through Ecorr. The inhibition efficiencies were calculated using the relationship [64]:
Where Io
corr and Icorr are the corrosion current densities of the polymer coated and uncoated stainless steel
electrodes respectively.

di N-propyl malonic acid solution containing 0.15 M N-methyl aniline. The potential was scanned from -1.2
V to + 1.4 at the scan rate of 50mV/s.The formation and growth of the polymer film can be easily seen from
the voltomogram. The peaks due to the oxidation and reduction of the film increase in intensity grows. The
oxidation of amine units and the protonation of phenyl rings can be thought of as competing reactions during
the protonation of polyaniline. Then, the oxygen gas evolution was observed to be a continuous current
increase. In presence of 0.1 M aniline, the monomer oxidation process was observed at approximately + 0.5 V.
In the present system the electrochemical polymerization of poly N –methyl aniline aqueous protonic acid
medium of pH 1.5 leads to the formation of two types of the polymer. The polymer layer direct contact
electrode surface is green, ,the cyclic voltametric response is poly N –methyl aniline,with the difference that
the protonation of the peak shift to a lower potential value and the peak due to the surface electron transfer
shifts to a higher potential value. Both the peaks merge at and give as one model peak at a sweep rate of 90
mV/s. The polymer which is in contact with the electrolyte has red colour and the cyclic voltameter response of

The corrosion performance of polymer coated stainless steel cylinder was investigated in 0.5 N H2SO4
solution The impedance spectra obtained for corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solutions in the absence and
presence of polymer are simple semicircles with one time constant . The R(CR) model best describes(Randles

the semi circle obtained for bare electrode surface in the corrosive media.This indicates the charge transfer
process as the main controlling factor of the corrosion of stainless steel in acid media.

Potentiodynamic polarization parameters like corrosion potential (Ecorr),corrosion current density
(Icorr), cathodic tafel slope (βc) Anodic tafel slope βa and percentage inhibition efficiency according to
polarization studies are listed in table 3. Here Icorr decreased with increasing inhibitor concentration. It is clear
that the decrease in corrosion current density is due to the better adherence of polymer film onto the metal
surface.

coated stainless steel does not alter the reaction mechanism, and that the inhibition effect has occurred due to
simple blocking of the active sites, thereby reducing available surface area of the corroding stainless steel .

IV. Conclusions
The polymerization of N –methyl aniline was carried out successfully on 2mm 304-stainless electrode
by cyclic voltammetry technique. The films synthesized as a top coating in acidic medium was homogenous and
adherent.
The corrosion behavior of PNMA top coating and of single 304-stainless electrode was investigated using
ac impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves. It was found that the polymer film on 304-stainless
electrode controls both cathodic and anodic reaction and the corrosion rate of stainless electrode decreased. In
this way, PNMA coating exhibited an important barrier property against the attack of corrosive medium.
