A New and Economical Technique to Protect Copper from Corrosion – Indian Institute of Technology (BHU)

Researchers used technique called ‘floating film transfer method’ to obtain ultrathin films of an organic material, squaraine, and to transfer it over the copper articles as layers. The anti-corrosion activity was tested in the presence of hydrochloride using electrochemical techniques as well as surface characterization techniques. The tests showed that nearly 40% corrosion protection is reached with just one layer of squaraine and increased up to 98% with four layers.
