This is a ATR spectrum. In which caffeine/PVA films were measured. Line a) correspond to a pure pva film and the other lines are films at increasing caffeine concentration. Notice that the OH band at around 3200cm-1 decreases at higher caffeine concentrations. However at a certain concentration (line d) such band starts to increase back to the initial intensity. What does that mean? Waht is the chemical meaning for that behavior?

This is a ATR spectrum. In which caffeine/PVA films were measured. Line a) correspond to a pure pva film and the other lines are films at increasing caffeine concentration. Notice that the OH band at around 3200cm-1 decreases at higher caffeine concentrations. However at a certain concentration (line d) such band starts to increase back to the initial intensity. What does that mean? Waht is the chemical meaning for that behavior?
