Resumen:
The electrosynthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) films on Nitinol (NiTi) from solutions containing different corrosion inhibitors is reported. The corrosion behaviour of the coated samples was investigated in 0.15. M NaCl solution. The presence of molybdate ions in the polymer matrix confers to the substrate a greater resistance to pitting corrosion. The polymer formed potentiostatically in a solution at pH 12 containing nitrate and molybdate is the most efficient in terms of adhesion and corrosion protection. Results are interpreted in terms of the nature of the dopants, the good electroactivity of the polymer and passive properties of the oxide layer. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
