Corrosion inhibition studies by surfactants in the presence of 2-methyl thiophene on mild steel

In this research, three surfactants, namely cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and polysorbate-80 (Tween 80) have been examined as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in absence and presence of a thiophene derivative (2-methyl thiophene) in 2 M hydrochloric acid (HC...
