N-H symmetric stretching percentage increases with temperature.

Abstract

Ferric Chloride-Bismaleimide (FeCl3-BMI) and Titania-Bismaleimide (TiO2-BMI) composite were synthesized using PVA as a binder. The composite systems were deposited on glass slide as a homogenous coating. XRD and FTIR studies of the composite system showed its crystalline and structural configuration. A mixed phase of TiO2 and BMI as well as short range crystallinity was observed. An increase in crystallinity with temperature was also seen. The percentage of N-H symmetric stretching was also found to increase with temperature.
