Polyaniline (PANI)‐α‐Fe 2 O 3 nanocomposites (NCs) have been synthesized by chemical oxidative in situ polymerization of aniline in presence of α‐Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles at 5°C using (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 as an oxidant in an aqueous solution of sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid (SDBS), as surfactant and dopant under N 2 atmosphere. The room temperature conductivity of NCs decreases and coercive force ( H c ) increases with an increase addition of α‐Fe 2 O 3 in PANI matrix. The result of FTIR and TGA shows that the interaction between α‐Fe 2 O 3 particles and PANI matrix could improve the thermal stability of NCs. NCs demonstrate the superparamagnetic behavior. The performance of PANI and PANI‐α‐Fe 2 O 3 NCs as protective coating, against corrosion of 316LN stainless steel in 3.5% NaCl was assessed by potentiodynamic polarization technique. The study shows a good corrosion inhibition effect of both the coatings. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013
