Polystyrene
Entity identified- Library search returned Polystyrene as the top hit with similarity 0.874 and multiple polystyrene entries in the top-15.
- Direct literature evidence assigns the 699 cm⁻¹ band to polystyrene (PS) [1].
- Related literature sources (S2, S3, S5) report polystyrene spectra with matching peaks at 699, 1028, 1452, 1492, 1601, 3026 cm⁻¹, consistent with the current sample.
Minor peaks at 906, 1068, and 1181 cm⁻¹ are not as prominent in idealized polystyrene spectra, but they appear in the library matches and may be attributed to skeletal C-C or C-O vibrations from additives or slight oxidation.
