Figure 4.
Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum of unmodified E2As polymer (top red), HMDI- (second red) or PEG-DI-linked E2As intermediate (green) and argatroban/HMDI (blue) or PEG-DI/E2As (purple). Broad peak between 3000–3600 cm−1 incorporates most of the secondary and tertiary amines of argatroban while the peak near 2250 cm−1 shows the reduction of peak following grafting of argatroban to HMDI- or PEG-DI-linked intermediates.
