  • Patent number: 8268919
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a polymer for detecting a fingerprint, which can be easily handled in a scene of the fingerprint detection as a substitute for conventionally employed 2-cyanoacrylate (a monomer), and a composition for detecting a fingerprint. It is also intended to provide a method of detecting a fingerprint whereby a fingerprint can be detected at a high sensitivity regardless of the color or conditions of a specimen and wherein the specimen can be well restored. The present polymer and composition for detecting a fingerprint and method of detecting a fingerprint using the same make it possible to definitely detect a fingerprint by using fluorescence even from an almost white specimen such as a shopping bag or an aluminum foil from which a fingerprint can be hardly detected by the existing methods.
