The Forensic Analysis of Paper, Fibers, and Polymers

Chapter 14 The Forensic Analysis of Paper, Fibers, and Polymers... [Pg.568]

Polymers can be classified in different ways. From the forensic perspective, a reasonable starting point is to divide pol)Tmers into biologically derived polymers (biopol3rmeis) and synthetic organic polymers. Biopolymers are extracted from natural sources such as plants or animals. Even though proteins and DNA are biopolymers of unquestioned importance in forensic science, their analysis resides in the context of forensic biology. The biopolymer we will concentrate on is cellulose, the base material in paper and cotton fibers. Historically and chemically, semisynthetic polymers fall between naturally derived and synthetic polymers. Rayon and cellophane are made from regenerated... [Pg.528]
