Forensic analysis applications in textile and chemistry

Abstract

Evidence must be presented neatly and with care to solve forensic cases because the ability to resolve legal cases depends only on the availability of appropriate evidence. Evidence is used to uncover connections between the victim, the place and time of the incident, and the perpetrator in order to resolve the incident. One of the most important types of evidence examined in forensic investigations is textile materials. Because everyone who commits a crime or is a victim of crime is in contact with textile surfaces. Textile products such as clothing, furniture, knife marks on fabric, blood on car upholstery, vehicle upholstery found at the crime scene can be used as evidence to help solve the crime. During forensic examination, fibers can be classified according to certain criteria such as colour, shape, surface texture, thickness, fluorescent properties, and chemical composition. As a result of examining these classifications, the case can be clarified as quickly as possible. Otherwise, finding the perpetrator may become more difficult as time goes on.
