Abstract

Polymers are ubiquitous in our everyday life, so it is highly likely that they may be somewhat involved in the commission of crimes. Fibres will be shed by the garments of a burglar, paint smears and plastic fragments can be left in car accidents, adhesive tape can be used for the packaging of illegal drugs, wires insulated by a polymeric coating are part of many bombs, etc.
