Nota di contenuto

Introduction -- Polymers: an overview -- Polymeric traces: transfer, persistence, recovery, analysis and interpretation of analytical data -- Polymers on the crime scene -- Formulation: polymer matrix, fillers, dyes, pigments and other additives -- Synthesis-dependent parameters: molecularweight, constitution and configuration -- Processing-dependent parameters: structure and morphology of polymeric materials.

Sommario/riassunto

This book approaches the analysis of forensic contact traces from a



polymer science perspective. The development of characterization methods of new or unusual traces and the improvement of existing protocols is described.The book starts with a general introduction to polymers andĀ  the issues related to transfer, persistence and recovery of polymeric traces. The chaptersĀ  present a distinctive feature of polymers, discussing how it can be measured, what the practical difficulties which can be encountered in the analysis, and how useful that information is for comparison or identification purposes. Practical tips for the realization of the forensic analyses are included.
