It is possible to produce polypyrrole films on mild steel by electropolymerization from aqueous solutions. The present study compares the characteristics of films obtained from various solutions (Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4}, H{sub 2}C{sub 2}O{sub 4}, Na{sub 2}C{sub 2}O{sub 4} or H{sub 3}BO{sub 3}) on mild steel. Films are studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Optical Microscopy, Auger Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Other studies are under way on galvanized steel and zinc. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
