“…The low-intensity mode located at 552 cm −1 can be attributed to Ag-O stretching, showing the presence of Ag in SiO 2 -Ag [ 96 , 97 ]. For EVA, bands referring to the fingerprint of the polymer are observed at 2954, 2850, 1467, 1243, 874, 707, and 546 cm −1 , related to the EVA aliphatic groups [ 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 ]. At 1020 cm −1 , the bending of the C–O–C bonds is observed [ 102 ], and at 1801 and 1739 cm −1 , the C=O bond stretching refers to two different types of carbonyl groups [ 101 , 102 ], as noted by Poljansek et al [ 103 ].…”
