Abstract

In previous research, results on efficiency versus size and type of Ag particles showed similarity of detection efficiency comparing the particles of flake and spherical type with the gray particle on the market and in the case of nAg (rod, $0.9\;{\mu}m$) particle, relatively good results was given in the various evaluation methods for detection efficiency of latent fingerprint. However, oxidation was occurred when nAg particles laying on nature condition for a month and due to water absorption, detection efficiency was decreased. Therefore, with need to prevent oxidation and water absorption, more research is necessary. In this research, surface modification on nAg particles using silicon oil was conducted in various methods for complementing weakness of oxidation and water absorption. Then detection efficiency of nAg particles and surface modified nAg particles was evaluated by the number of feature points on the surface of non-porous materials (glass, plastic etc.) and degree of particle adhesion with ridges and contrast of detected fingerprint. Improvement of preventing oxidation and water absorbtion was given by surface modification using silicon oil (DC200, 0.5%) on the surface of non-porous materials.

Ag 분말 입자형태와 크기에 따른 효율성을 확인한 결과 flake, spherical 형태의 분말은 시판 회색 분말과 현출효율이 유사하였고, nAg (rod, $0.9\;{\mu}m$) 분말의 경우 다양한 잠재지문 현출효율 평가 실험에서 우수한 결과를 보였다. 그러나 1개월간 nAg 분말을 자연조건에서 방치하였을 때 분말의 산화 및 수분의 영향으로 현출효율이 낮게 확인되어 산화 및 수분 흡습 방지를 위한 연구가 제기되었다. 본 연구는 nAg 분말의 산화 및 수분 흡습의 단점을 보완하기위해 nAg 분말에 실리콘 오일을 다양한 수준으로 표면개질하여 비다공성 대상물질 표면인 유리, 플라스틱에서 현출지문의 동일한 영역에서 특징점 수, 이랑과 분말의 흡착정도, 현출지문의 contrast 등으로 nAg 분말과 표면개질 nAg 분말의 현출효율을 평가하여 유리, 플라스틱 대상물질에서 DC200 실리콘 오일 0.5%로 표면개질한 nAg 분말의 우수함과 산화 및 수분 흡습의 단점을 보완할 수 있었다.
