Studies on infrared spectra for cupric ion bound Guargum-graft-acrylamide

Abstract

Y1Ba2Cu3O7-x superconductor can be prepared by polymeric precursor technique. Guargum-graft-acrylamide (G-g-Am) was selected as polymeric part. Initial step is to understand nature of ion binding by G-g-Am at higher pH. In this present investigation groups involved from G-g-Am in binding Cu2+ have been understood. IR spectral study indicates –COO— groups and –OH groups from G-g-Am may have role in ion binding at higher pH.
