Chitosan (CS) was cross-linked using cinnamaldehyde (Cinn) in a single step procedure following microwave irradiation to produce cinnamaldehyde-modified chitosan (Cinn-CS). The synthesized Cinn-CS was used as a novel corrosion inhibitor for copper in 1 M hydrochloric acid. A comprehensive electrochemical investigation using the impedance measurements, and potentiodynamic polarization was undertaken, supported with surface analysis and computational studies.

Chitosan was chemically functionalized using aminotriazolethiol in a facile single-step synthesis. The macromolecule was evaluated as an inhibitor for corrosion of stainless steel in 3.5% NaCl solution.

The influence of chitosan on the copper corrosion in sulfide polluted synthetic seawater (SSW) containing 20 ppm of sulfide has been investigated for the first time. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy at the open circuit potential and weight loss measurements were employed to assess the corrosion inhibition ability of chitosan. The impedance studies revealed that in the presence of chitosan at various concentrations, the charge transfer resistance increases.
