Science & Justice. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scijus.2017.09.001 | Journal Title: | Science & Justice | Journal: | Science & Justice | Description: | Plastic cable ties can be utilised in a range of serious criminal activities and a comparison of cable ties, or fragments, may form part of the physical evidence presented to a Court of law. This research assessed the potential value of evidence based on the analysis of plastic cable ties. Twenty packets of black coloured plastic cable ties (nominally 200 mm × 4.8 mm) were purchased in pack sizes ranging from 25 to 100 individual cable ties (Brisbane, Australia, March 2015). Representative samples from each packet were visually examined, compared and tested to determine their physical dimensions, chemical compositions and stable isotopic compositions. | DOI: | 10.1016/j.scijus.2017.09.001 | Keywords: | Isotopes;Mass Spectrometry;Chemistry, Physical;Forensic Sciences | Type: | Journal article |
