“…The FT‐IR spectrum of natural rubber showed the signature signals of C−H stretching, C=C stretching, CH 2 bending, CH 3 bending, =CH out‐of‐plane bending at 2851–2960, 1631, 1446, 1375, and 830 cm −1 , respectively. Other signals, O−H, C=O, O−P‐O, and C−O at 3367, 1775, 1240, and 1055 cm −1 , belong to other components in natural rubber, such as moisture, proteins, phospholipids, etc [40–43] . The signals of the prepared carbon dots located at 2969, 1587, and 1365 cm −1 refer to C−H stretching, C=C stretching, and C−H bending, respectively.…”
