Electrochemically Prepared Poly(3‐methylthiophene) Films for Passivation of 430 Stainless Steel
Source abstract
Abstract
Electrochemically prepared poly(3‐methylthiophene) films on both platinum and 430 stainless steel (430SS) rotating disk electrodes (RDEs) were characterized for various galvanostatic electropolymerization conditions. Both applied current density and rotation rate affected subsequent redox capacity, polarization and self‐discharge behavior of the films in 1 N sulfuric acid solution. Poly(3‐methylthiophene) films were galvanically coupled to polished 430SS RDEs in 1 N sulfuric acid solution to evaluate their effectiveness in stabilizing the steel in a passive state.
