Abstract :

Recently, Nanotechnology took an attention due to various applications in broad area of science and technology. However, the use of different nano particles for fingerprint enhancement gives very rapid, notable and promising result. Among all, Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) receiving increased attention in physical, biological, material and forensic sciences due to their multifunctional properties such as small size, super magnetism and biocompatibility. His@MNPs could be synthesised using in situ wet chemical method and characterized using XRD, FTIR, HR- TEM & SEM. Further, His@MNPs were studied for their potential use for biomedical appilcations by observing molecular interactions with DNA, Microbes and A549 Human Lung cancer cell line. In addition to this, His@MNP is also studied for in vitro drug kinetics study in 10% PD at physiological conditions. Due to imidazole group on the surface of His@MNPs, gives rapid and peculiar fingerprint enhancement. Additionally, synthesised nanomaterial is efficient on most of the surfaces, like hard-surfaces, softsurfaces, porous and non-porous surfaces. However, His@MNPs have affinity to bind negatively charged component which gives enchantment to latent fingerprint. The interaction between positively charged amine and negatively charged fingerprint surface developed print which can be seen by naked eye as well as in the range of UV radiation around 350- 390 nm. This work may open up other potential application of HiS@MNPs in preventive and detective forensics.
