ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology is the growing field of scientific research & technology.
Nanotechnology has vast applications specially in the field of forensicscience.
It helps in diagnosing and examining samples at the nano- scale level thatwas
earlier difficult due to detection limits of instruments. Nanotechnology has
already shown immense potential in many fields of research like medicine,
molecular biology, genetics, material science & it also has a promising
potential even in the fields of forensic science. This area of research has its
own significant interest as the advances in the field of nanotechnology are
being incorporated in the field of forensic science. For revealing the secrets of
forensic science, nanotechnology is being used quite extensively. In forensic
nanotechnology minute chip materials are used instead of bulky instruments
which reduces the steps of methods of analysis to make investigationpurpose
accurate, precise and less time consuming.. An important advantage of using
nanotechnology in the field of forensic science is that it reveals the hidden
evidences, which can prove to be helpful for the forensic scientists to give an
outcome to their investigation. This review aims to discuss role of
nanotechnology in forensic analysis and detection of crime scene.

INTRODUCTION
Today the era of dreaming big is over. Now the idea is that
small is good. Based on this principle, scientists are
developing nanoscience, commonly referred to as
Nanotechnology (NT). This technology is emerging as an
‘industrial force’ worldwide. It has the potential to reduce
costs with its multiple applications and the inherent ability
to produce new materials like non-corroding and flexible
iron and many more. Nanotechnology is a rapid growing
field which sets new horizons in the field of science and
technology As nanotechnology is still evolving,theredoesn’t
seem to be any one definition that everybody agrees on.
Nano deals with matter on a very small scaleandalsomatter
at the nano scale behaves differently than bulk matter. But
beyond that, different individuals and groups focus on
different aspects of nanotechnologyasa discipline.Theword
nano is a scientific prefix that stands for 10-9 or one-
billionth & the word itself comes from the Greek wordnanos
which means dwarf.
Nanotechnology is the study anduseofstructuresbetween1
nanometer (nm) and 100 nanometers in size. The Foresight
Institute gave a definition as:
“Nanotechnology is the study of phenomena and fine-
tuning of materials at atomic, molecular and
macromolecular scales, where properties differ
significantly from those at a larger scale.”
The European Commission offers this definition as:
“Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of
matter at dimensions between approximately1and 100
nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel
applications.”
This definition from the National Nanotechnology Initiative
adds the fact that nanotechnology involves certainactivities,
such as measuring and manipulating nano-scale matter.
The definition of nanotechnology by Thomas Theis, director
of physical sciences at the IBM Watson Research Center,
offers a broader and interesting perspective of the role and
value of nanotechnology in our world.
“Nanotechnology is an upcoming economic, business,
and social phenomenon. Nano-advocates argue it will
revolutionize the way we live, work and communicate.”
APPLICATIONS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
The ability to see nano-sized materials has opened up a
world of possibilities in a variety of industries and scientific
areas. As nanotechnology is essentially a set of techniques
that allow measurements of properties at a very small scale,
it has many applications, some of them are listed below.
1. Drug delivery:
Today, most harmful side effects of treatments such as
chemotherapy are a result of drug delivery methods that do
not target their intended target cellsaccurately.Researchers
at Harvard and MIT have attached special RNA strands of
about 10 nm in diameter to nanoparticles and filled the
nanoparticles with chemotherapy drug. These RNA strands
are attracted to cancer cells. When the nanoparticle
encounters a cancer cell it adheres toitandreleasesthedrug

into the cancer cell. This directed method of drug delivery
has great potential for treating cancer patients while
producing less harmful side effects than conventional
chemotherapy.
2. Nano – forensics:
Nano-forensics, a completely new area of forensic science
associated with the development of nano-sensors,
nanotechnical methods for real-time crime scene
investigation and terrorist activity investigations,
determining the presence of explosive gases, biological
agents and residues. [1-4]
3. Forensic Science:
Forensic Science is a broad field of subspecialtieswhichuses
techniques adopted from the natural sciences to obtain
criminal or other legal evidences. [5-9] Nanotechnology is
having an impact on the handling of evidence at crime
scenes, its analysis in the laboratory and its presentation in
the court room. Application of nanotechnology is likely to
enhance the capacity to toxic materials, forensic evidence in
tissue, materials and soil. [10-13]
Forensic science mainly dealswithidentification, evaluation,
investigation of the crime, finding connections between
pieces of evidence and perpetrators. Nano-analysis is
commonly used in the nanotechnology detection of crimes.
Some of these analyses techniques are Scanning Electron
Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Atomic
Force Microscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering, and Raman
Microscopy. [14-16] These techniques assist forensicscientists
firstly by making it possible to analyze nano-scaled samples
and secondly by making use of the specific effects of
nanomaterial to identify and collect evidence, which would
not have been possible by previous techniques. DNA
extraction from palm-prints, fingerprints, gun residues,
explosives and heavy metals are some of the novel
approaches that ease the way for forensic scientists to
provide conclusive evidence [17-21] (Figure 1).
Figure.1 Forensic nanotechnology combines the technologies and approaches of nanotechnology to improve the
scene of crime detection and analysis.
Nanotechnology assist forensic scientists in following areas
of forensic science:
3.1. Forensic toxicological analysis :
Nano technology is effectively used in the discipline of
forensic toxicology for examination of different toxic
materials from numerous important forensic evidences like
hair, blood, saliva, vitreous humor and even from remains of
body skeleton and samples of evidencesoffingerprints.Gold
nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles and Titanium oxide
nanoparticles are commonly used to enhance the detection
limit. [22-26]
3.2. Finger print analysis:
Distinctive lines and swirls at the end of our fingers give a
unique pattern of ridges and valleys to each individual,
known as fingerprints or Frictional Ridge Skin (FRS). Owing
to the fact that this pattern is unique to each individual and
doesn’t change throughout a person’slife,ithasbeenused as
a biometric identifier by the criminologists and law
enforcement officers in forensic investigations since late
19th century [38]. Apart from the scars which originatedfrom
any accidents, fingerprints remain same throughout a
person’s life. Even identical twins with identical DNA have
different fingerprints[39]. Fingerprintformationbegins,when
the baby is still in the womb at about 10th week..
Fingerprints are fully formed at about seven months of
foetus development. [40,41] If appropriately gathered and
accurately analysed, fingerprints are impeccable and can
serve crime fighters with invaluable knowledge to identify
the criminals [42]. Interestingly, fingerprints not only reveal
identity, it can also hint about a person’s profession as well
as substances touched and secretions from a person’s body.
Traditionally, fingerprint analysis was mostly performed by
powdering method, for which different types of
commercially availablepowdersincludingmagneticpowder,
aluminium flake powder, luminescentpowderandironflake
powder are used. [38] Techniques such as mass spectroscopy
in addition to chromatography are used to identify the
molecular ion of explosive residues or prohibited drugs
important for forensic detection. [43] Other methods usedfor
fingerprint analysis are Surface Assisted Laser Desorption/
Ionization (SALDI) coupled with mass spectroscopy [44],

Desorption Electro spray Ionization (DESI) mass
spectroscopy [45], Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/
Ionization mass spectroscopy (MALDI) [46], Raman
spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy. [38]

Patent finger marks can be seen with naked eyes and thus
can be used directly but clarity of the latent fingerprints can
be enhanced by using gold nanoparticles bound with long
hydrocarbon chains which form hydrophobic interactions
with the sweat residues alongwithsilverphysical developer.
[47]
3.3. Forensic DNA analysis:
Forensic DNA analysis is carried in murder cases, rape cases
and other crime cases. DNA analysis of blood stains, hairs,
fibres semen can be carried out. Micro-fluidicdevicesarethe
recent advanced devices used for forensic DNAanalysis.The
advantages of these devices are shorter examination time,
risk of contamination is less and directly applicable at the
crime scene. Another most important technology is micro-
fluidic chip technology has already proven to be useful and
effective within medical applications, such as for point-of-
care use. [27-32]
3.4. Forensic explosive detection:
Global terrorism is increasing now-a-days due to more and
more terrorist activities. So, greater drawn attention is
drawn for the detection ofhiddenexplosives.Nanomaterials
provide a active potential to create sensors for detection of
explosives.. Tracing of explosives is a very costly and
complicated task. Nanostructures are used as sensors for
detection of different chemical and biological compounds
including explosives. To trace the explosives, advanced
nanosensor concept devices like electronic noses, nanotube
and nanomechanical devices are used detect the
conventional bombs, plastic explosives and grenades .[4-9]
3.5. Gunshot residue analysis: Nanotechnologycanbe
applied for detecting the analysis of gunshot residue.
Microscopic particles of gunshot residues are often present
on the hands of a shooter, following discharge of a
firearm.High-resolution SEM imaging is used in the GSR
analysis to locate residue particles, and X-ray spectrometry
to determine their composition of the elements. [33-37]
3.6 Questioned documents analysis:
Technologies to study forensic materials has also moved to
the nanoscale with techniques and machines which are now
capable of manipulating molecules on the nanoscale. One
such technique is the AFM which allows visualizing and
manipulating materials at the level of individual molecules
[48]. The Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)canexaminetheink
crossing in documents to determine the sequence of pen
strokes and 3-D surface morphology, which provides
essential information for determining the sequence of lines
made by ball pen ink and ribbon dye. [48 , 49] The depth of ink
crossing, amplitude and phase images of ink on paper and
crossing sequence can be clearly determined [50].
3.7. Estimation of the time of death:
Estimation of the time of death is one of the most important
problems for forensic medicine and law. Physical and
chemical postmortem changes are evaluated together while
estimating the time of death. The pattern analysis of ante
mortem and postmortem bloodstainsisoneoftheimportant
parameters for forensic science, and cellular changes of
blood cells can be useful for the quantitative assessment of
the time of death. Recently it was reported that the
application AFM can resolve one of the most crucial issuesin
forensic science the estimation of the time of death. Since
(AFM) is a rapidly developing tool introduced into the
evaluation of the age of bloodstains, potentially providing
legal medical experts useful information for the forensic
investigation. Therefore the AFM detections on the time-
dependent, substrate type-dependent, environment
(temperature/humidity)-dependentchangesinmorphology
and surface visco-elasticity of RBC imply a potential
application in forensic medicine or investigations, e.g.,
estimating age of bloodstain or death time[6]. As it is a new
potential tool in forensic medicine the time-dependent
surface adhesive force and morphology of red blood cells
(RBC), and cellular visco-elasticity vs. distance curve under
1) controlled, room temperature (temp: 25 0C, humidity:
76%); 2) uncontrolled, outdoor-environmental (temp:21.2–
33.7 0C, humidity: 38.4–87.3%) and controlled, low-
temperature (temp: 40C, humidity: 62%) conditioned by
AFM [50].
3.8. Trace evidence:
An important aspect of any crime scene investigation is to
detect, secure and analyze trace evidence. Atomic force
microscopy (AFM) is a nanotechnology tool that can be used
to generate forensic information on a various range of trace
evidence including the measurement of cuticle step heights
in hair, the morphological and elastic propertiesofhairsand
fibers, and the density withstructural propertiesofboneand
enamel. [48] According to a recent study on the fiber, it was
reported that AFM is a very powerful tool in the forensic
examination of fiber evidence due to its capability to
distinguish between different environmental exposures or
forced damages to fibers [49].
4. Security features in official and confidential
documents:
Security of official and confidential documents is always a
big issue for a country regarding to its national security.
Therefore there are many ways of making or attempting to
make a document secure and counterfeit proof. These
include watermarks, fluorescent inks, securityfibers,optical
variable ink, plan chettes, and holograms. However, if one
wants to mark (tag) a document with an invisible code that
is luminescent, one normally uses inorganic luminescent
phosphors ororganicluminescentfluorophors.Thisiswhere
the attention in using nanoparticles as security features
comes in, particularly, luminescent nanoparticles such as
quantum dots or nano-sized luminescentphorphorsandup-
converters. Thus quantum dots and other nanoparticles are

being considered asluminescentmaterials.Recently,various
types of nanoparticles are developed that can be used for a
new generation of anticounterfeiting inks.TheseNPsarenot
only replacing the ancient fluorescent dyes that can be used
in currency notes but also gives more précis and upgrade
security features than previously done [52,53] .
5. Nanotechnology and its military usage:
NT often acts as an enabling means that enhances
applications in exhilarating ways. Defence applications for
NT are numerous, ranging from sensing Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMD), combatant protection kits (smart
armour, active camouflage), and medical aid (infection
control), to self-healing materials and nano-electronics. At
the same time, NT is more of an evolving technology and
many applications in the military realm are actually
theoretical possibilities and demandmorein-depthresearch
and development.
Future aspects of Nanotechnology in Forensic Science
The integration of these scientific areasshowsadvantagesin
the development of nanotechnology in various areas of
forensic science, health sciences and various areas of
automotive engineering as well. By combining the most
advanced chemical and physical technologieswiththeneeds

The growing demand of nanotechnology today has enabled
most of the scientist and analyst to go in the efficient
strategic objectives and sound skills in the field of
nanotechnology.

Introduction to Nanotechnology and Its Applications in Forensic Investigation and Analysis

  • 1. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) Volume 5 Issue 1, November-December 2020 Available Online: www.ijtsrd.com e-ISSN: 2456 – 6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD38149 | Volume – 5 | Issue – 1 | November-December 2020 Page 1216 Introduction to Nanotechnology & Its Applications in Forensic Investigation & Analysis Savita Sharma Research Scholar, The Global Open University, Dimapur, Nagaland, India ABSTRACT Nanotechnology is the growing field of scientific research & technology. Nanotechnology has vast applications specially in the field of forensicscience. It helps in diagnosing and examining samples at the nano- scale level thatwas earlier difficult due to detection limits of instruments. Nanotechnology has already shown immense potential in many fields of research like medicine, molecular biology, genetics, material science & it also has a promising potential even in the fields of forensic science. This area of research has its own significant interest as the advances in the field of nanotechnology are being incorporated in the field of forensic science. For revealing the secrets of forensic science, nanotechnology is being used quite extensively. In forensic nanotechnology minute chip materials are used instead of bulky instruments which reduces the steps of methods of analysis to make investigationpurpose accurate, precise and less time consuming.. An important advantage of using nanotechnology in the field of forensic science is that it reveals the hidden evidences, which can prove to be helpful for the forensic scientists to give an outcome to their investigation. This review aims to discuss role of nanotechnology in forensic analysis and detection of crime scene.

Now the idea is that small is good. Based on this principle, scientists are developing nanoscience, commonly referred to as Nanotechnology (NT). This technology is emerging as an ‘industrial force’ worldwide. It has the potential to reduce costs with its multiple applications and the inherent ability to produce new materials like non-corroding and flexible iron and many more. Nanotechnology is a rapid growing field which sets new horizons in the field of science and technology As nanotechnology is still evolving,theredoesn’t seem to be any one definition that everybody agrees on. Nano deals with matter on a very small scaleandalsomatter at the nano scale behaves differently than bulk matter. But beyond that, different individuals and groups focus on different aspects of nanotechnologyasa discipline.Theword nano is a scientific prefix that stands for 10-9 or one- billionth & the word itself comes from the Greek wordnanos which means dwarf. Nanotechnology is the study anduseofstructuresbetween1 nanometer (nm) and 100 nanometers in size. The Foresight Institute gave a definition as: “Nanotechnology is the study of phenomena and fine- tuning of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale.” The European Commission offers this definition as: “Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately1and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications.” This definition from the National Nanotechnology Initiative adds the fact that nanotechnology involves certainactivities, such as measuring and manipulating nano-scale matter. The definition of nanotechnology by Thomas Theis, director of physical sciences at the IBM Watson Research Center, offers a broader and interesting perspective of the role and value of nanotechnology in our world. “Nanotechnology is an upcoming economic, business, and social phenomenon. Nano-advocates argue it will revolutionize the way we live, work and communicate.” APPLICATIONS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY The ability to see nano-sized materials has opened up a world of possibilities in a variety of industries and scientific areas. As nanotechnology is essentially a set of techniques that allow measurements of properties at a very small scale, it has many applications, some of them are listed below. 1. Drug delivery: Today, most harmful side effects of treatments such as chemotherapy are a result of drug delivery methods that do not target their intended target cellsaccurately.Researchers at Harvard and MIT have attached special RNA strands of about 10 nm in diameter to nanoparticles and filled the nanoparticles with chemotherapy drug. These RNA strands are attracted to cancer cells. When the nanoparticle encounters a cancer cell it adheres toitandreleasesthedrug IJTSRD38149

This directed method of drug delivery has great potential for treating cancer patients while producing less harmful side effects than conventional chemotherapy. 2. Nano – forensics: Nano-forensics, a completely new area of forensic science associated with the development of nano-sensors, nanotechnical methods for real-time crime scene investigation and terrorist activity investigations, determining the presence of explosive gases, biological agents and residues. [1-4] 3. Forensic Science: Forensic Science is a broad field of subspecialtieswhichuses techniques adopted from the natural sciences to obtain criminal or other legal evidences. [5-9] Nanotechnology is having an impact on the handling of evidence at crime scenes, its analysis in the laboratory and its presentation in the court room. Application of nanotechnology is likely to enhance the capacity to toxic materials, forensic evidence in tissue, materials and soil. [10-13] Forensic science mainly dealswithidentification, evaluation, investigation of the crime, finding connections between pieces of evidence and perpetrators. Nano-analysis is commonly used in the nanotechnology detection of crimes. Some of these analyses techniques are Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering, and Raman Microscopy. [14-16] These techniques assist forensicscientists firstly by making it possible to analyze nano-scaled samples and secondly by making use of the specific effects of nanomaterial to identify and collect evidence, which would not have been possible by previous techniques. DNA extraction from palm-prints, fingerprints, gun residues, explosives and heavy metals are some of the novel approaches that ease the way for forensic scientists to provide conclusive evidence [17-21] (Figure 1). Figure.1 Forensic nanotechnology combines the technologies and approaches of nanotechnology to improve the scene of crime detection and analysis. Nanotechnology assist forensic scientists in following areas of forensic science: 3.1. Forensic toxicological analysis : Nano technology is effectively used in the discipline of forensic toxicology for examination of different toxic materials from numerous important forensic evidences like hair, blood, saliva, vitreous humor and even from remains of body skeleton and samples of evidencesoffingerprints.Gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles and Titanium oxide nanoparticles are commonly used to enhance the detection limit. [22-26] 3.2. Finger print analysis: Distinctive lines and swirls at the end of our fingers give a unique pattern of ridges and valleys to each individual, known as fingerprints or Frictional Ridge Skin (FRS). Owing to the fact that this pattern is unique to each individual and doesn’t change throughout a person’slife,ithasbeenused as a biometric identifier by the criminologists and law enforcement officers in forensic investigations since late 19th century [38]. Apart from the scars which originatedfrom any accidents, fingerprints remain same throughout a person’s life. Even identical twins with identical DNA have different fingerprints[39]. Fingerprintformationbegins,when the baby is still in the womb at about 10th week.. Fingerprints are fully formed at about seven months of foetus development. [40,41] If appropriately gathered and accurately analysed, fingerprints are impeccable and can serve crime fighters with invaluable knowledge to identify the criminals [42]. Interestingly, fingerprints not only reveal identity, it can also hint about a person’s profession as well as substances touched and secretions from a person’s body. Traditionally, fingerprint analysis was mostly performed by powdering method, for which different types of commercially availablepowdersincludingmagneticpowder, aluminium flake powder, luminescentpowderandironflake powder are used. [38] Techniques such as mass spectroscopy in addition to chromatography are used to identify the molecular ion of explosive residues or prohibited drugs important for forensic detection. [43] Other methods usedfor fingerprint analysis are Surface Assisted Laser Desorption/ Ionization (SALDI) coupled with mass spectroscopy [44],

[38] Techniques such as mass spectroscopy in addition to chromatography are used to identify the molecular ion of explosive residues or prohibited drugs important for forensic detection.[43]. Other methods used for fingerprint analysis are Surface Assisted Laser Desorption/ Ionization (SALDI) coupled with mass spectroscopy [44], Desorption Electro spray Ionization (DESI) mass spectroscopy [45], Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/ Ionization mass spectroscopy (MALDI) [46], Raman spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy. [38] Patent finger marks can be seen with naked eyes and thus can be used directly but clarity of the latent fingerprints can be enhanced by using gold nanoparticles bound with long hydrocarbon chains which form hydrophobic interactions with the sweat residues alongwithsilverphysical developer. [47] 3.3. Forensic DNA analysis: Forensic DNA analysis is carried in murder cases, rape cases and other crime cases. DNA analysis of blood stains, hairs, fibres semen can be carried out. Micro-fluidicdevicesarethe recent advanced devices used for forensic DNAanalysis.The advantages of these devices are shorter examination time, risk of contamination is less and directly applicable at the crime scene. Another most important technology is micro- fluidic chip technology has already proven to be useful and effective within medical applications, such as for point-of- care use. [27-32] 3.4. Forensic explosive detection: Global terrorism is increasing now-a-days due to more and more terrorist activities. So, greater drawn attention is drawn for the detection ofhiddenexplosives.Nanomaterials provide a active potential to create sensors for detection of explosives.. Tracing of explosives is a very costly and complicated task. Nanostructures are used as sensors for detection of different chemical and biological compounds including explosives. To trace the explosives, advanced nanosensor concept devices like electronic noses, nanotube and nanomechanical devices are used detect the conventional bombs, plastic explosives and grenades .[4-9] 3.5. Gunshot residue analysis: Nanotechnologycanbe applied for detecting the analysis of gunshot residue. Microscopic particles of gunshot residues are often present on the hands of a shooter, following discharge of a firearm.High-resolution SEM imaging is used in the GSR analysis to locate residue particles, and X-ray spectrometry to determine their composition of the elements. [33-37] 3.6 Questioned documents analysis: Technologies to study forensic materials has also moved to the nanoscale with techniques and machines which are now capable of manipulating molecules on the nanoscale. One such technique is the AFM which allows visualizing and manipulating materials at the level of individual molecules [48]. The Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)canexaminetheink crossing in documents to determine the sequence of pen strokes and 3-D surface morphology, which provides essential information for determining the sequence of lines made by ball pen ink and ribbon dye. [48 , 49] The depth of ink crossing, amplitude and phase images of ink on paper and crossing sequence can be clearly determined [50]. 3.7. Estimation of the time of death: Estimation of the time of death is one of the most important problems for forensic medicine and law. Physical and chemical postmortem changes are evaluated together while estimating the time of death. The pattern analysis of ante mortem and postmortem bloodstainsisoneoftheimportant parameters for forensic science, and cellular changes of blood cells can be useful for the quantitative assessment of the time of death. Recently it was reported that the application AFM can resolve one of the most crucial issuesin forensic science the estimation of the time of death. Since (AFM) is a rapidly developing tool introduced into the evaluation of the age of bloodstains, potentially providing legal medical experts useful information for the forensic investigation. Therefore the AFM detections on the time- dependent, substrate type-dependent, environment (temperature/humidity)-dependentchangesinmorphology and surface visco-elasticity of RBC imply a potential application in forensic medicine or investigations, e.g., estimating age of bloodstain or death time[6]. As it is a new potential tool in forensic medicine the time-dependent surface adhesive force and morphology of red blood cells (RBC), and cellular visco-elasticity vs. distance curve under 1) controlled, room temperature (temp: 25 0C, humidity: 76%); 2) uncontrolled, outdoor-environmental (temp:21.2– 33.7 0C, humidity: 38.4–87.3%) and controlled, low- temperature (temp: 40C, humidity: 62%) conditioned by AFM [50]. 3.8. Trace evidence: An important aspect of any crime scene investigation is to detect, secure and analyze trace evidence. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a nanotechnology tool that can be used to generate forensic information on a various range of trace evidence including the measurement of cuticle step heights in hair, the morphological and elastic propertiesofhairsand fibers, and the density withstructural propertiesofboneand enamel. [48] According to a recent study on the fiber, it was reported that AFM is a very powerful tool in the forensic examination of fiber evidence due to its capability to distinguish between different environmental exposures or forced damages to fibers [49]. 4. Security features in official and confidential documents: Security of official and confidential documents is always a big issue for a country regarding to its national security. Therefore there are many ways of making or attempting to make a document secure and counterfeit proof. These include watermarks, fluorescent inks, securityfibers,optical variable ink, plan chettes, and holograms. However, if one wants to mark (tag) a document with an invisible code that is luminescent, one normally uses inorganic luminescent phosphors ororganicluminescentfluorophors.Thisiswhere the attention in using nanoparticles as security features comes in, particularly, luminescent nanoparticles such as quantum dots or nano-sized luminescentphorphorsandup- converters. Thus quantum dots and other nanoparticles are
