Abstract
The principle of the piezoelectric microbalance is described and its applicability to the surface reaction studies on metals is discussed. The adsorption of cyclohexylamine o-nitrophenolate on copper and silver and its protective action against corrosion in humid air were studied using the piezoelectric micro-balance. The results of measurements are given as an example of the application of the method in corrosion and inhibition research. Finally, advantages and limitations of the method are briefly discussed.
