	abstract = {<p>Poly(o-ethylaniline) coatings were synthesized on copper (Cu) by electrochemical polymerization of o-ethylaniline in an aqueous salicylate solution by using cyclic voltammetry. The characterization of these coatings was carried out by cyclic voltammetry, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of these characterizations indicate that the aqueous salicylate solution is a suitable medium for the electrochemical polymerization of o-ethylaniline to generate strongly adherent and smooth poly(o-ethylaniline) coatings on Cu substrates. The performance of poly(o-ethylaniline) as protective coating against corrosion of Cu in aqueous 3\% NaCl was assessed by the potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results of these studies demonstrate that the poly(o-ethylaniline) coating has ability to protect the Cu against corrosion. The corrosion potential was about 0.078 V versus SCE more positive in aqueous 3\% NaCl for the poly(o-ethylanitine) coated Cu (similar to 15 mu m thick) than that of uncoated Cu and reduces the corrosion rate of Cu almost by a factor of 70.
