“…Figure 1b shows that in the "fingerprint" region the spectra revealed several bands. The band at 1642 cm -1 is associated with adsorbed water in cellulose 19,22,23 . The bands at 1430, 1370, 1335 and 1320 cm -1 are attributed to CH 2 symmetric bending, CH bending, OH in plane bending, CH 2 rocking vibration, respectively [21][22][23] , and the bands at 1162, 1111, 1057, 1033, 898 cm -1 are assigned to asymmetric C-O-C bridge stretching, the anhydroglucose ring asymmetric stretching, C-O stretching, C-H in plane deformation, C-H deformation of cellulose, respectively [21][22][23][24]26 .…”
