Abstract
- 4-(Chloromethyl) phenyltrichlorosilane was used to modify silica spheres to obtain a sensitive and selective nanoparticle powder for detecting latent fingerprints. Various analytical techniques were used to characterize the nanoparticles and to show that the structure and properties are well-suited for forensic science. The synthesis of the particles was optimized based on the performance in terms of detection and the development of a test set of latent prints. The new material offers simple synthesis, convenient use for routine casework, and low price. These advantages suggest potential application for crime scene investigations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
