Abstract
The inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl by 2-amino-4-(4-nitrophenyl) quinoline-3-carbonitrile (AAC-1), 2-amino-4-phenylquinoline-3-carbonitrile (AAC-2) and 2-amino-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) quinoline-3-carbonitrile (AAC-3) has been investigated using weight loss, electrochemical (potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)), surface (SEM, EDX and AFM) and quant
