Infrared spectrum comparison chart.
Analysis result: aromatic ester polymer, consistent with a terephthalate-type polyester.
The FTIR pattern is most consistent with an aromatic ester-containing polymer, and the library nearest match is Poly(ethylene terephthalate). The sample shows a strong ester carbonyl band at 1713 cm⁻1 together with several C–O stretching bands at 1243, 1260, 1096, 1113, and 1017 cm⁻1, which supports a polyester-like material. Bands at 873 and 726 cm⁻1 are also compatible with an aromatic terephthalate-type ring substitution pattern. However, the overall library match quality is very weak, all top candidates have effectively zero similarity separation, and no direct or related literature evidence independently confirms a specific named polymer. For that reason, the most defensible conclusion is a terephthalate-type aromatic polyester direction rather than a firm entity assignment
