The potentiodynamic polarization result showed that the inhibitor is a mixed type corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4, inhibiting both the cathodic and anodic partial reactions. Density functional theory calculations were performed to model the electronic structures of some selected extract constituents (conessine, and ascorbic acid) to confirm their inhibiting potential and established their individual contributions to the observed inhibiting effects.","PeriodicalId":14453,"journal":{"name":"International Letters of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75073994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, pH triggered biocomposites using different proportions of kaolinite and chitosan were fabricated. It was revealed that the biocomposites were formed in 1M acetic acid and stabilized after dropwise addition of the mixture of kaolinite and chitosan solution in 3M NaOH. Binding of kaolinite and chitosan at their interface through functional groups was studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The average particle size of the biocomposite in aqueous system having 80% w/w kaolinite and 20% w/w chitosan was determined to be 400.8 nm. Crystallinity disappearance of chitosan in the biocomposite, as shown in x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum, supports the wrapping of kaolinite with soft and flexible chitosan. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed the thermal stability of the biocomposites and it was found that the biocomposite fabricated from 50% w/w kaolinite and 50% w/w chitosan was stabled up to 318°C. Morphological studies were carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), where a progressive tendency towards granular morphology was evidenced with increase in kaolinite content. These functionalized materials in bionanocomposite structure would play a vital role in advanced research in analytical and environmental science.","PeriodicalId":14453,"journal":{"name":"International Letters of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77092763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FTIR, NMR and Mass spectral techniques have been used in the analysis. Single crystal X-ray structure of the compound was determined. FTIR spectrum of the compound showed υc-s band at 1073 cm-1 and υC-H vibrations appeared at 2853 and 2928 cm-1. Thioureide stretching band was observed at 1473 cm-1. The molecular ion peak in the Mass spectroscopy confirmed the proposed formula. H1 NMR spectrum of the compound showed a signal at 4.33(s) ppm for α-CH of the cyclohexyl ring and -CH3 protonsattached to nitrogen appeared at 3.40 ppm. Methylene proton (S-CH2-S) signal appeared at 3.16 ppm which is largely deshielded by the presence of two electronegative sulphur atoms on either side. The characteristic methylene carbon (S-CH2-S) signal appeared at 45.46 ppm in the 13C NMR spectrum. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis of the compound showed it to be monomeric. Methylene carbon in S-CH2-S, C(9) is tetrahedrally bonded to two hydrogen atoms and two sulphur atoms S(2), S(3). The molecule stacks its cyclohexyl rings along ‘c’ axis of the unit cell.
