Adhesive Tapes as Trace Evidence
نویسنده
چکیده
When Richard Drew of 3M developed creped paper masking tape in 1925, he began a revolutionary change in the way we live. From that first step, taking us from the over a century-old cloth backed pressure sensitive tape for surgical use to the many and varied industrial tapes which followed Richard Drew’s masking tape, it changed how we make things and how we do things. It is used in the manufacturing process, in the finished product, or on the package it comes in, of just about everything in our daily lives. At least one piece of adhesive tape in involved somewhere in almost everything in our lives. This can be from wrapping a Christmas or birthday present to sending man into space.

The spectroscopic detection of exogenous material in fingerprints after development with powders and recovery with adhesive lifters.
The application of powders to fingerprints has long been established as an effective and reliable method for developing latent fingerprints. The powders adhere to the ridge pattern of the fingerprint only, thus allowing the image to be visualised. Fingerprints developed in situ at a crime scene routinely undergo lifting with specialist tapes to facilitate subsequent laboratory analysis. As with...
متن کاملThe spectroscopic detection of drugs of abuse in fingerprints after development with powders and recovery with adhesive lifters.
The application of powders to fingerprints has long been established as an effective and reliable method for developing latent fingerprints. Fingerprints developed in situ at a crime scene routinely undergo lifting with specialist tapes and are then stored in evidence bags to allow secure transit and also to preserve the chain of evidence. In a previous study we have shown that exogenous materi...
متن کاملAnkle taping: support given by different materials.
Three different adhesive and two non-adhesive tapes were used by three operators to assess the compressive action exerted on the ankle at the moment of strapping, during different phases of gait, and after some days of treatment in ten volunteers. Only the adhesive tapes were still able to prevent swelling after five days. They should be used if a prolonged compressive action is required.
متن کاملFabricating nanowire devices on diverse substrates by simple transfer-printing methods.
The fabrication of nanowire (NW) devices on diverse substrates is necessary for applications such as flexible electronics, conformable sensors, and transparent solar cells. Although NWs have been fabricated on plastic and glass by lithographic methods, the choice of device substrates is severely limited by the lithographic process temperature and substrate properties. Here we report three new t...
متن کاملDurability of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Joints
Pressure sensitive mounting tapes provide a quick and effective fastening method compared to most mechanical joining techniques. Due to the viscoelastic nature of pressure sensitive adhesives their response to mechanical and climatic stress in terms of durability is different from most structural adhesives. While the feature of compensating differences in thermal expansion of bonded members and...
