Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Single fibers are important evidence samples for clarifying many criminal cases. In many cases, the conventional method cannot discriminate between different types of fibers. Therefore, a new method of single fiber analysis is required. This study developed a nondestructive discrimination method for single fiber dissimilarity, focusing on elemental information and chemical structures derived from dyes and catalysts. A combination of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and X-ray absorption fine structure technique (XAFS) utilizing synchrotron radiation was used for the analysis method. As a result, elemental information and chemical structures derived from dyes and catalysts can be used as indicators to discriminate silk and polyester single fibers with high accuracy. This method has shown potential for use as a new nondestructive discrimination method for single fibers that can contribute to the safety of society.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
単繊維に用いられる染料・触媒は種類が多く、本研究によって開発された手法は高い異同識別力を有する。本研究は科学捜査・放射光科学の観点から、極めて高い学術的価値を有する。本研究の独創的な点は、従来、外観・色・材質によって識別していた単繊維を使用される染料・触媒で行う点である。また、本法の技術は、近年重大な環境問題とされている海洋マイクロプラスチックへの応用が期待できる。
