Polymerisation of S2N2 to (SN)(x) as a tool for the rapid imaging of fingerprints removed from metal surfaces

KingPolymerisation of S2N2 to (SN)x on metallic surfaces is induced by interaction with the minute corrosion signatures of removed (by washing) fingerprints; as vapour-phase S2N2 is employed, it follows that the process has the potential to rapidly screen large/convoluted metal pieces, such as explosive device fragments whose prints were wiped by the detonation.
