Morphological variations of explosive residue particles and implications for understanding detonation mechanisms

Abdul-Karim, Nadia; Blackman, Christopher S.; Gill, Philip P.; Morgan, Ruth M.; Matjacic, Lidija; Webb, Roger; Ng, Wing H. (2016-08-23)

The possibility of recovering undetonated explosive residues following detonation events is well-known; however, the morphology and chemical identity of these condensed phase postblast particles remains undetermined. An ...
Photo-induced enhanced Raman spectroscopy for universal ultra-trace detection of explosives, pollutants and biomolecules

Ben-Jaber, Sultan; Peveler, William J.; Quesada-Cabrera, Raul; Cortés, Emiliano; Sotelo-Vazquez, Carlos; Abdul-Karim, Nadia; Maier, Stefan A.; Parkin, Ivan P. (Nature Publishing Group, 2016-07-14)

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive spectroscopic techniques available, with single-molecule detection possible on a range of noble-metal substrates. It is widely used to detect molecules that ...
Post-blast explosive residue - a review of formation and dispersion theories and experimental research

Abdul-Karim, Nadia; Blackman, C. S.; Gill, Philip P.; Wingstedt, M. M.; Reif, B. A. P. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-10-17)

The presence of undetonated explosive residues following high order detonations is not uncommon, however the mechanism of their formation, or survival, is unknown. The existence of these residues impacts on various scenarios, ...
The spatial distribution patterns of condensed phase post-blast explosive residues formed during detonation

Abdul-Karim, Nadia; Blackman, Christopher S.; Gill, Philip P.; Karu, Kersti (Elsevier, 2016-05-06)

The continued usage of explosive devices, as well as the ever growing threat of ‘dirty’ bombs necessitates a comprehensive understanding of particle dispersal during detonation events in order to develop effectual methods ...
