Review: Synthesis of Chemical Materials for Fingerprint Detection

Abstract

Fingerprint is a famous tool for identifying the identity of people by using the ten fingers, which should be left traced for remaining materials, and that could be achieved by specific chemical compounds made as developer reagents. In this review, we mention some chemical compounds that are used for developing fingerprints and that include inorganic and organic materials in classic and Nano size. The reported materials in this work include pristine samples such as SiO2 and carbon dote or hybrid materials with specific materials to produce new compounds with new physio-chemical properties able to interact with trace fingerprints.
