This work represents the preparation of polyaniline in its free and self-doped forms. The polymers were formed as nanotubes using template free self-curling preparation. Chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline and 4-aminobenzene sulphonic acid individually as monomers was carried out without adding acids or templates. The electron microscope image of the polymer reveals the nano-tubular structure with inner diameter of 20-30 nm and outer diameter of 80-100 nm. Quantum chemical calculations of the repeating units were calculated to correlate the chemical structure to the mechanism of inhibition. The corrosion inhibition behavior of the polymers in 1 M HCl has been evaluated using Tafel's extrapolation method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Self-doped polyaniline showed the greater inhibition efficiency compared with un-doped polyaniline. Results of electrochemical impedance and Tafel's polarization measurements consistently showed that both compounds can be effectively used as corrosion inhibitors.
