Comments to the Author
This is a good paper but several things are sorely missing:
1. The authors should prepare a table in which the proportions (by weight) of the different components used for the XXX formulation should be clearly listed. So, XX, XX, XX, XX etc. Without this it is not clear what the authors have prepared.
2. The authors should clearly explain what the different XX, XX, XX etc. do in the formulation. OK, a reader can somewhat understand the role of XX and XX from their reaction scheme 1, but they should precise what the others do, and why they have used them.
3. As the different materials are added, different reaction products are obtained. While it is OK to have the FTIR at three different stages of the process, the authors must be aware that this can only be a vague indication of what really happens. It would be necessary to have a C13 NMR for the same three cases for which the FTIR wa done to determine it. Please do present it. 返回小木虫查看更多
