This study aims to demonstrate the impact of varying deacetylation times on chitosan surface morphology, elemental composition, thermal resistance, structural configuration, and deacetylation degree (DD). Variable techniques including UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transformed Infra-Red (FTIR-ATR), Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses were employed to analyze how increased deacetylation periods affect the characterization of the products. The FTIR spectra showed a notable similarity between all extracted chitosan processed with increasing deacetylation time and the commercial one. Moreover, the results revealed that all the extracted chitosan samples acquired DD values, based on FTIR-ATR analysis, are comparable to that of commercial ones i.e. 79.54%, 78.23%, 74.81%, and 76.56% for deacetylated times of 22 h, 30 h, 36 h, and 40 h, respectively are comparable to that of the commercial chitosan (76.1%).

This polymer production begins with hydrolysis of dichloromethylsilane (DCMS), as raw material, which continues through condensation polymerization. Previous research reported the synthesis of PMHS using an acid solvent with different temperature variations and indicated that low-viscosity PMHS can be produced through condensation at 15-20 °C. However, this process requires a very long polymerization time. Meanwhile, synthesis using a higher temperature of 50 °C required a catalyst. The influence of solvents, one of the important synthesis temperatures, on the synthesis process of PMHS has not been explored. Furthermore, the toxicity of this material has not been reported. In this study, PMHS with low- and medium-viscosity were synthesized from DCMS with different solvents and additional control of the condensation temperature to accelerate the polymerization. Utilizing a basic diethyl ether (DE) solvent facilitates a higher viscosity value than an acidic dichloromethane (DCM) solvent. All PMHS samples were characterized by a viscometer, refractometer, surfgauge, UV-Vis, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy. The in vitro hen's egg chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) toxicity test of PMHS was also conducted. A low-viscosity PMHS sample had a surface tension of 20 milliN/m and a refractive index of 1.3960, while medium-viscosity had 21 milliN/m and 1.3982.

The inhibition performance of the ATFS compound was investigated by chemical, electrochemical, and quantum studies. The surface morphology of LCS was studied by scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force (AFM) microscopes. At 298 K, the inhibitory efficiency (IE) increased from 52.27 to 89% as the inhibitor concentration increased from 50 to 300 ppm. However, at 328 K and with 300 ppm of the ATFS compound, the IE decreased to 74.51%. The Tafel plot confirmed that the ATFS compound belonged to mixed-type inhibitors. An increase in inhibitor's concentration resulted in an elevation of the activation energy of the corrosion process, indicating that the ATFS was physically adsorbed at the LCS surface. The adsorption followed the Langmuir's isotherm. The ATFS decreased the capacitance of the double layer (C<sub>dl</sub>) and increased the charge transfer resistance (R<sub>ct</sub>). The AFM results indicated that the average roughness of LCS in the HCl solution was 7.58 nm, which reduced to 4.79 nm in the presence of 300 ppm of the ATFS compound. The high IE of the ATFS inhibitor was verified by the quantum parameters that derived from the density functional theory (DFT).
