carboxyl-containing monomers

APPLICATION OF POLYCARBOXYLATES AS CORROSION INHIBITORS AND METHODS OF THEIR PREPARATION. REVIEW.

Polycarboxylates are carboxyl-containing monomer-based polymers with carboxyl groups that are not directly bound to the aliphatic polymer chain. They are used as superplasticizers of concrete, demulsifiers for dehydration, anti-corrosion preservatives for steel and inhibitors of salt deposits in oil pipelines.

The purpose of our work was to review the literature data on the use of polycarboxylates as inhibitors of corrosion and saline deposits, as well as methods for the synthesis of monomers for their production.
