What is it about?
The study compares, for the first time, the corrosion inhibition properties of a diethylenetetramine-derived imidazoline (I), and tetraethylenepentamine-derived imidazoline (II) and bis-imidazoline (III), all having heptadecyl pendants as hydrophobes. The newly synthesized imidazolines show excellent inhibition efficiencies against the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M sodium chloride solutions saturated with carbon dioxide. The inhibition efficiencies increased with the increasing temperature. At a concentration of 100 ppm at 40 °C, imidazolines I, II, and III imparted inhibition efficiencies of 84, 95 and 96%, respectively. The imidazolines cover most of the steel surface before their critical molar concentrations are reached.

Why is it important?
newly synthesized corrosion inhibitors using stearic acid and comparing their properties as surfactants and corrosion inhibitors
Perspectives
This publication looks at the molecule from a physicochemical point of view as an adsorbing species rather than a molecule with electronegative or electropositive head
