Projects 2007
Each masters student has to successfully complete an individual research project. These last approximately three months and must involve experimental work. The majority of projects are based within our own laboratories, although if they wish sponsored students can undertake their project at their employing establishment
- The investigation of post blast residues from HMTD
- Development of an automated SPME/HPLC interface for use in the analysis of trace organic explosives
- Explosive trace analysis in latent fingerprints by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
- Investigation of particle and gas emissions from firing ranges
- Testing and validating a physical thoracic and abdominal rig for use in analysing BABT in soft body armour
- Investigation of post blast residues from HMTD
- Investigation of plastic insulating materials from improvised explosive devices pre/post blast
- Investigation into rifling processes and profiles
- Neutron radiography
- Flammability of building materials using a radiant heat source
- Non-invasive examination of materials by neutron induced prompt gamma emission
- Forensic swabbing of chemical warfare agents from fume cupboard surfaces
