Abstract The corrosion inhibition efficiency of aniline, formaldehyde and piperazine based polymer (ADPD) on N80 steel in 3.5% NaCl solution saturated with carbon dioxide was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, weight loss, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements, density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics simulation (MD). The adsorption of polymer onto N80 steel surface followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Potentiodynamic polarization study confirmed that inhibitor is mixed type with cathodic predominance. SECM study reveals the current values decreases with the increasing concentration of polymer. SEM study supports the smooth metal surface texture. DFT and MD calculations are in agreement with the experimental findings.
