Photoluminescent CdS/Dendrimer Nanocomposites for Fingerprint Detection
Journal of Forensic Sciences
(2000)
Abstract
CdS/dendrimer nanocomposites with a range of concentrations of the photoluminescent semiconductor nanocluster and the dendrimer are prepared in methanol and 1:9 methanol:water solutions. The solutions are utilized for detection of cyanoacrylate ester fumed and unfumed fingerprints on polyethylene and aluminum foil.
