Forensic comparison of synthetic fibers

“…Very few reports, however, are available for fiber comparison using GPC. [99] An automated system was described for the routine forensic identification of polymers by the determination of oligomers and other low-molecular weight components using size exclusion chromatography and reversedphase chromatography. [100] Recent advances in the forensic characterization of polymeric items were reviewed, but they do not mention much about the GPC analysis of polymeric fibers.…”

“…Forensic identification of polymer products using GPC as an analytical tool for molecular weight determination was started in as early as 1979. Very few reports, however, are available for fiber comparison using GPC . An automated system was described for the routine forensic identification of polymers by the determination of oligomers and other low‐molecular weight components using size exclusion chromatography and reversed‐phase chromatography .…”
