Analysis of FT-IR spectrum of the γ-PGA sample. The absorption peak at 3,421 cm−1 was the symmetric stretching vibration band of N-H; 1,649 cm−1 was the asymmetric stretching vibration band of –CONHR; 1,408 cm−1 was the symmetric stretching vibration band of COOH; 1,076 cm−1 was the hallmark peak representing the presence of aliphatic hydrocarbons, -CH2 or -CH3 (flexural vibration); 1,000 cm−1–500 cm−1 were caused by (CH2)n () planar rocking vibration, as well as in-plane bending vibration.
