Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Environmentally friendly cellulose nanocrystals were doped with dyes to create novel dusting powders for visualizing latent fingerprints (LFPs). Curcumin-doped cellulose nanocrystals (CDCN) demonstrated superior sensitivity and contrast for LFP detection on diverse surfaces.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Latent fingerprint (LFP) visualization is crucial in forensic science.
  • Traditional powder-dusting methods rely on visual contrast.
  • Nanomaterials offer enhanced optical properties for LFP development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel, eco-friendly dusting powders for latent fingerprint visualization.
  • To investigate the efficacy of dye-doped cellulose nanocrystals (CNs) for LFP detection.
  • To compare the performance of phenylfluorone-doped CNs (PDCN) and curcumin-doped CNs (CDCN).

Main Methods:

  • Cellulose nanocrystals (CNs) were used as a support material.
  • Two dyes, phenylfluorone and curcumin, were adsorbed onto CNs via batch adsorption.
  • Dye-doped CNs (PDCN and CDCN) were applied as dusting powders to visualize LFPs on various substrates.

    • Main Results:

    • Both PDCN and CDCN effectively visualized LFPs on diverse surfaces (glass, paper, plastic, metal, etc.).
    • CDCN revealed high-quality, second and third-level ridge details, surpassing PDCN's secondary-level detail visualization.
    • CDCN exhibited higher sensitivity, selectivity, and contrast, particularly for fresh and non-fresh LFPs on porous and non-porous substrates.

    Conclusions:

    • Dye-doped cellulose nanocrystals are promising novel dusting powders for LFP detection.
    • CDCN offers superior performance compared to PDCN for LFP visualization.
    • CDCN holds potential for practical application in forensic science due to its enhanced properties.
