Chitosan — FTIR absorption peaks and assignments
These are the characteristic FTIR wavenumbers where Chitosan tends to absorb, compiled from published literature and ranked by supporting evidence. Each assignment is traceable to a source (DOI) and cross-validated against our 130,000+ reference spectra and knowledge graph.
Backed by 8 cited sources
Quick answer
Chitosan is usually assigned by looking for a recurring cluster of characteristic peaks rather than one exact textbook number. The table below shows where the literature most often places this group in FTIR, ranked by accumulated evidence.

Spectrum logic
A functional-group assignment becomes more reliable when several expected bands appear together. Use this page to find the strongest-supported peaks, then confirm that the same sample exhibits a coherent pattern rather than a single isolated hit.
Real-world usage
These pages are useful for unknown material analysis, peak explanation in reports, polymer troubleshooting, and verifying whether a candidate material family is chemically plausible.
Common mistakes
- Using one functional-group page as a complete material verdict without checking the rest of the spectrum.
- Assuming the strongest band is always the most diagnostic one.
- Forgetting that processing, additives, aging, and mixtures can shift or broaden expected peaks.
Verification advice
Use DSC, GC-MS, or TGA when several material families share similar bands or when mixture effects make the FTIR assignment uncertain.
