Q

Secondary Transfer

A

is one caused by contact between two items in which material on one item presents itself as a trace contact material, is transferred to the second recipient item

14
Q

How does the age of a fabric influence shedding?

A

If a fabric is older/worn it is more likely to have been damaged which increases shedding.
Newer Fabrics may have loose fibres adhering to the surface

Q

How does damage affect fabric shedding

A

If during the contact, there is increase physical contact and the fabric is damaged the fabric will shed more

16
Q

How does the construction of a fabric affect shedding

A

Tightly woven or knitted fabrics are less likely to shed, shedding is also dependant on the type of fabric

17
Q

Which is likely to shed more, a filament yarn fabric or a woven one

A

Woven yarn

18
Q

Why would you use one-to-one taping?

A

Surface area taping of exposed areas of body and clothing

positions of fibre tapings are catalogued and can be associated later for a distribution map

19
Q

What are the limitations of fibre taping?

A

Drawbacks (i) unsuitable on heavily contaminated items where large amounts of particulate debris, (ii) use difficult on angular or irregular surfaces, (iii) not easily used on large surface areas

20
Q

how are synthetic fibres formed?

A

by extruding a fibre- forming

substance, called spinning dope, through a hole or holes, n a shower-head-like device called a spinneret

21
Q

What can the cross-section of a synthetic fibre show?

A

can show the intended use of the fabric

22
Q

If a synthetic fibre has a trilobal or lobal cross section, what is its intended use?

A

Carpet - to hide dirt and create a visual texture to the carpet

23
Q

Name 3 other possible shapes, other than tri-lobal for the cross section of a fibre

A

dog-bone
round
irregular

24
Q

Give 3 methods of fibre analysis

A

TLC
infra-red
colour analysis

25
Q

What is pleochromism

A

The property causes substance to show different absorption colours when it is exposed to polarised light coming from different directions.

26
Q

what is beneficial about a pleochromism of fibres?

A

it is easy to compare fibres suggesting or disproving connection

27
Q

what does the micro-spectrophotometer do?

A

Allows for an objective measurement of the colour
of small, millimetre, or microscopic samples and are
more precise, quantitative or objective compared to the more subjective results of visual macroscopically colour
comparisons.

28
Q

What is tlc used for in fibre analysis?

A

separates dyes from fibres and hairs and is highly discriminatory, but is a destructive test

29
Q

What is infra-red used for in Fibre analysis?

A

Infrared light has energy to stretch, bend and
vibrates bonds in materials. The energy absorbed
is measured and produces a fingerprint of the
fibre. IR databases are in existence.

30
Q

What is a possible disadvantage of using adhesive tape to remove fibres?

A

Overloading the tape with background fibres will make it difficult to search and reduce the adhesiveness of tape

31
Q

What are the steps of fibre recovery?

A

Using transparent adhesive tape
Holding adhesive side down
Systematically dabbing the surface
Tape is then stuck down onto acetate sheet
Placed in greaseproof envelope
Alternatively a roller may be used to roll across the garment (replacing tape as required
