Abstract

a charge transfer mechanism. Moreover, these materials displayed both concentration- and immersion time-dependent corrosion inhibition efficiency, which exceeded 90% at 1000 ppm for Ca-Cin6 after 120 minutes of immersion in its solution. The corrosion inhibition efficiencies of these Schiff bases were optimized by investigating their dependence on the studied variables. The calculated thermodynamic parameters pointed out spontaneous adsorption of the Schiff base molecules on the metallic surface, obeying the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. These results reinforce that the materials under investigation exhibit promising features for refining the 316L stainless steel surface for implant applications.
