	abstract = {<p>This study examines the use of poly(o-toulidine) (POT) coatings for corrosion protection of copper (Cu) in an aqueous solution of 3\% NaCl. The POT coatings were synthesized on Cu substrates under cyclic voltammetric conditions from an aqueous solution of sodium oxalate. The resulting, POT coatings were uniform, shiny and strongly adherent to the Cu substrates. These coatings were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ability of POT to serve as a corrosion protective coating for Cu was examined by potentiodynamic polarization measurements and CV. The results of this study clearly reveal that the POT acts as corrosion protective coating on Cu and reduces the corrosion rate of Cu almost by a factor of 40. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

	abstract = {<p>Poly(o-toluidine) (POT) coatings were synthesized on copper (Cu) by electrochemical polymerization of o-toluidine using aqueous sodium oxalate solution as supporting electrolyte. The resulting coatings were uniform, compact and strongly adherent to the Cu substrate. These coatings were characterized by using cyclic voltammetry, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results of these studies reveal that the sodium oxalate is suitable supporting electrolyte for the electrochemical polymerization of o-toluidine on Cu substrate. It is found that the electrochemical polymerization of o-toluidine takes place after the passivation of the Cu substrate via formation of copper oxalate (CuC2O4, H2O) layer, which is confirmed by XRD and XPS. The optical absorption spectroscopy study reveals the exclusive formation of the pernigraniline base (PB) form of POT. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
