ملخص: The effect of poly(4-vinylpyridine isopentyl bromide) (P4VPIPBr) in three degrees of quaternisation (6, 18 and 79%) on the corrosion of pure iron in molar sulphuric acid is investigated by potentiodynamic, polarisation resistance and weight loss measurements. The inhibition efficiency (E%) of P4VPIPBr increases with its concentration to attain ~100% around 5 x 10-6 M. E% values obtained from the various methods are in good agreement. Polarisation measurements show also that the compound acts as a cathodic inhibitor and adsorbs on the pure iron surface according to the Frumkin adsorption isotherm model.
