The library top hit is Poly(ethylenimine),epichlorohydrin modified, but the overall match strength is very weak and no direct or related literature evidence independently confirms that specific material. The observed FTIR pattern is more safely described as a nitrogen-containing aliphatic polymeric material showing an N-H/O-H stretching band near 3294 cm-1, aliphatic C-H bands at 2922 and 2853 cm-1, a band near 1645 cm-1 consistent with amine-associated bending and/or bound water contribution, and strong fingerprint-region absorption at 1226 and 1034 cm-1 that can fit C-N and/or C-O single-bond vibrations. Because the top-library pattern also includes poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(ethylene oxide), and epichlorohydrin/ethylene oxide-related polymers, the defensible conclusion is a broader amine-containing aliphatic polymer direction rather than a firm assignment to the named library compound
Recommended next steps: Re-run the FTIR spectrum with improved background correction and drying of the sample to assess whether the 3294 and 1645 cm-1 bands decrease, which would help separate true N-H/O-H functionality from moisture effects. Inspect the 1200-900 cm-1 region at higher spectral quality, since resolving the relative strengths and shapes of the 1226 and 1034 cm-1 bands may help distinguish C-N-rich from C-O-rich polymers. If available, compare against authenticated spectra of Poly(ethylenimine),epichlorohydrin modified, poly(vinyl alcohol), and poly(ethylene oxide) measured under the same conditions. Use a complementary method such as elemental analysis or XPS to test for nitrogen; confirmation of nitrogen would strongly favor the amine-containing polymer direction over oxygen-only candidates such as poly(vinyl alcohol) or poly(ethylene oxide).
