	abstract = {<p>Poly(2,5-dimethylaniline) coatings were synthesized on copper (Cu) by electrochemical polymerization of 2,5-dimethylaniline in 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 (FTIR) spectroscopy 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 2,5-dimethylaniline to generate strongly adherent and smooth poly (2,5-dimethylaniline) coatings on Cu substrates. The performance of poly(2,5-dimethylaniline) as protective coating against corrosion of Cu in aqueous 3\% NaCl was assessed by the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization demonstrate that the poly(2,5-dimethylaniline) 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(2,5-dimethylaniline) coated Cu than that of uncoated Cu and reduces the corrosion rate of Cu almost by a factor of 31.
