Abstract
Polyaniline (PAni) and poly(1,5-diaminonaphthalene) (poly1,5-DAN) films can be deposited on mild steel from aqueous HClO4. This medium allows passivat ion of the substrate without preventing monomer oxidation. The films are un iform, with controlled thickness and exhibit electroactive properties betwe en 0.3 V and 1.0 V SCE which are similar to: those of PAni and poly(1,5-DAN ) generated on platinum. Electrosynthesis performed in the presence of two monomers leads to a. composite film which presents excellent adhesion prope rties on mild steel.
