“…Bands at around 3268, 2882, 1730, 1646, 1580, 1413, 1320, and 1413 cm´1 represent N-H, C-H, carbonyl group, primary amide, secondary amide, C-H of secondary amide, and C-N stretching, respectively, which are general characteristic vibrations of GlcN and GlcNAc. A new band at 1475 cm´1 in the HTCC spectrum indicates the introduction of trimethylammonium group on the chitosan backbone [13].…”
