Different concentrations of thiophene and 3-hexylthiophene homopolymers and their nanocomposites with TiO2 (2% in total content) were characterized by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion X-ray analysis, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The anticorrosion tests for homopolymers and nanocomposite films were examined on Al1050 in 3.5% NaCl solution. Poly(3-hexylthiophene)/TiO2 nanocomposite films gave the highest protection efficiency of 98% because the amount of defects was much lower than that for the poly(3-hexylthiophene), polythiophene, and polythiophene/TiO2 films.en10.1080/03602559.2015.1036450info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAl1050AnticorrosionNanocompositePolythiophenePoly(3-hexylthiophene)TiO2Conducting PolymersFilmsPolythiopheneImpedanceSurfaceSteelArticle541717801786Q3WOS:0003659575000032-s2.0-84949209213N/A
