“…Figure 1a shows the FTIR spectrum of the polymer, which has characteristic absorption peaks at 3448, 1635, 1404, 1335, 1173, 1119, 1034, 679, and 486 cm − 1 corresponding to the O-H stretching vibration, C = C asymmetric stretching vibration, C = C symmetric stretching vibration, C-N stretching vibration, C-H in-plane deformation, C-H bending vibration, C-H inplane bending vibration, C-S stretching vibration, and C-S-C ring deformation, respectively [22,23]. Figure 1b shows all the characteristic peaks of polymers with some slight spectral intensity changes in the binary polymer nanocomposite (PTh-nAg 2 O) FTIR spectrum, in which the peaks of PTh at wave numbers 1404, 1335, 1173, 679, and 486 cm − 1 were shifted to 1427,1366, 1196, 694, 478 cm − 1 , respectively [24][25][26].
