Material direction: adipate polyester
The sample is consistent with a polyester adipate, closely matching Hexanedioic acid, polymer with 1,4-butanediol and 1,2-propanediol, dodecanoate. The spectrum is dominated by an intense ester carbonyl band at 1736 cm⁻¹, strong aliphatic C–H stretching at 2932 and 2858 cm⁻¹, and characteristic C–O stretching modes at 1176 and 1084 cm⁻¹, all features of an aliphatic polyester backbone. A broad hydroxyl absorption near 3535 cm⁻¹ is also observed, likely from terminal hydroxyl groups or minor water content FTIR In-Depth Interpretation was not selected for this task, so this section shows the library-search result only and no deep AI interpretation was run.
Recommended next steps: The weak absorption at 756 and 833 cm⁻¹ may warrant further investigation; confirmation of the specific polyester composition could be obtained by pyrolysis‑GC/MS or NMR to identify the exact diol and acid units. The presence of a broad O-H band at 3535 cm⁻¹ suggests potential hydrolysis; if relevant, a water content determination or end‑group analysis by chemical titration would clarify the extent of degradation.
