The corrosion protection performance of PESPE-SAMs for copper in a 3.5% NaCl solution was evaluated through electrochemical measurements and an analysis of the corrosion morphology. Results indicate that functional groups such as C–O, C=O, and C=N within PESPE are adsorbed onto the copper substrate, forming a hydrophobic protective film (i.e., PESPE-SAMs). Notably, the corrosion rate of copper is significantly reduced, with a corrosion protection efficiency of approximately 86.7%.
