“…As it seen in Figure 2, a distinct peak at 1108 cm -1 together with two less manifest peaks at 806 and 467 cm -1 appeared corresponding to the vibration absorption of Si-O-Si. However, a perceivable peak C-H stretch band at 3000-3100 cm -1 , which is corresponds to aromatic C-H stretching vibration at 3027 cm -1 , as well as the characteristic peaks at 2921, 2854, 1733, 760, and 700 cm -1 are associated with the characteristic vibration of methyl (CH 3 ), methylene (CH 2 ), carbonyl (C = O), plane C-H bending, and benzyl groups, respectively (33,34). Therefore, the evidence confirms that the silica and P(MMA-co-St) are definitely formed.…”
