A new spray-on material that detects and neutralized used explosives by terrorists could Government carried out lift restrictions on liquids on board aircraft.
The material is an ink like substance made from tiny metal oxide nano particles, that changes color, dark blue, pale yellow or clear, in the presence of peroxide-based explosives. These explosives were terrorist in the bombing and the thwarted u-Bahn 2005 London used to bring "Shoe bomber", the attempted, this substance on board an aircraft in the year 2001 for the detonation.
"This stuff is everywhere used terrorist explosives are used including battlefields, airports and u-Bahnen," said study leader Dr All Apblett. "It is to save lives." Apblett, a chemistry professor at Oklahoma State University, presented his findings at a meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Apblett said that function allows the material as fast motion vapours produced was the color changes of explosives that are hidden in clothing, food or beverages. The ink contains a molybdenum Nonparticles connection, a metal often used in missiles and aircraft parts used.
Test strips, contains the ink could be dipped liquids before boarding in not drinks. For drinks a unique capillary tube could be inserted filled with ink in these liquids, which would not contaminate the drink. An example would be drawn and the chemical reaction inside the tube would be.
Aplebett and his colleagues founded Xplosafe, a company that developed and marketed the ink-like material. She hope that the experimental explosive substance is used in less than a year in airports.
