Conclusion
oxygenated material with hydroxyl-containing and possible carbonyl-containing functionality
General assessmentConclusion
- Hydroxyl-containing functionality is supported by the bands at 3477 and 3623 cm-1.
- An oxygenated matrix is supported by the 1034 cm-1 absorption.
- A possible carbonyl-containing contribution remains plausible because of the 1643 cm-1 feature, although it is not specific enough for ester confirmation.
Main limitation
A specific polyester assignment is limited by the absence of a clear, strong ester carbonyl band in the expected higher-carbonyl region.
