The resolution of the ATR-FTIR equipment was 8 cm⁻¹, 32 sample scans and a range of 4000–650 cm⁻¹. The absorption bands of each polymer were studied and matched with Agilent polymer ATR library with acceptable match quality set at ≥ 80% and further confirmed using validated polymer spectral data [7].
