“…FTIR analysis can reveal some evidence to further confirm the interaction between cellulose and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. As illustrated in Figure 3 , the FTIR spectra of native cellulose, MAC, and MAFCC show the characteristic peaks of cellulose at 3428, 2921, 1437, 1378, and 1046 cm ‒1 , corresponding to the O‒H stretching vibration, C‒H stretching vibration, C‒H banding vibration, C‒H deformation vibration, and C‒O stretching vibration, respectively [ 12 , 26 ]. These characteristic peaks of cellulose were also observed on the spectra of Fe 3 O 4 @MAC and Fe 3 O 4 @MAFCC nanocomposites ( Figure 3 e,f).…”
