Some polymeric imidazolates from alkylimidazolium as corrosion inhibitors of API 5L X52 steel in production water

In this work, the synthesis route and evaluation of two poly(ionic liquids) (PolyILs) derived from alkylimidazolium imidazolate to be used as corrosion inhibitors (CIs) of API 5L X52 steel exposed to oil reservoir production water (PW) are discussed. The corrosion inhibition performance of the PolyILs was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic...
