“…The bands at 1420, 1375 and 1315 cm −1 are attributed to respective asymmetric deformations of C-H, CeN and CH 3 groups of acetamide remaining in the polymer chain, since the chitosan is not completely deacetylated. In addition, at 1150 cm −1 , another band is present due to CeOeC β-(1/4) and the band at 1025 cm −1 is attributed to the elongation of CeO, both of the glycopyranoside ring [52].…”
