Title	Synthesis of Composite Particles with Fe₃O₄ core and Ag Shell for the Development of Fingerprints
Author	Ling-Yan Zhang*, Ting Chu
Keywords	Fe₃O₄@Ag nanoeggs, Superparamagnet, Hydrolysis, Condensation, Latant fingerprints
Abstract	The Fe3O4 -core and Ag- shell (Fe₃O₄@Ag nanoeggs) were prepared through the encapsulation of 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane-coated magnetite nanoparticle in nano-Ag shell by a simple chemically controlled procedure. The Fe₃O₄@Ag nanoeggs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectrum and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer, respectively. A detailed analysis is provided of how the hydrolysis and condensation of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and the pH value are vital in fabricating the Fe₃O₄@Ag nanoeggs. The prepared Fe₃O₄@Ag nanoeggs possessed uniform size, improved monodispersity, stability against aggregation and high magnetization, which were utilized for the detection of latent fingerprints deposited onto different surfaces. The experimental results showed that the latent fingerprints developed with the Fe₃O₄@Ag nanoeggs powders exhibited excellent ridge details with minimal background staining.
