“…The PA 6 spectra were normalized with the absorption band at 1462 cm −1 , which corresponds to the CH 2 scissors vibration since this band is not sensitive to oxidation . Compared to the unexposed PA 6, a moderate increase in the absorption bands in the wavenumber range from 1780 to 1700 cm −1 , which represents the stretching vibrations of carbonyl groups, an increase in the absorption band at 688 cm −1 , which represents the COOH deformation vibration, changes in the absorption bands in the wavenumber ranges from 1480–1360 cm −1 and 975–850 cm −1 , which represent the CH 2 ‐/amide‐scissors and wag vibrations, and the CO‐NH in plane vibrations of the crystalline α‐ and γ‐phase, were ascertained.…”
