Summary of the research project

Wet Powder Suspension is a technique used to develop latent fingermarks from semi-porous and non-porous surfaces. Although previous research assessed the effectiveness of this technique from various surfaces, the exact mechanism in which powder suspension works is not known. This project will examine various formulations of wet powder suspensions and will investigate the chemical interactions between fingermarks and wet powder suspensions.
