Peroxide-based explosives (PBEs) are increasingly common in criminal and terrorist activity
due to their easy synthesis and high explosive power. The rise in terrorist attacks involving …

A field-applicable colorimetric assay for fast detection of notorious explosive triacetone
triperoxide (TATP) has been developed through the selective irreversible oxidation of 3, 3 …

In this report we introduce a novel approach for an inexpensive and disposable colorimetric
paper sensor array for the detection and discrimination of five explosives–triacetone …

Since nitroaromatic-and nitramine-type energetic materials, mostly arising from military
activities, are persistent pollutants in soil and groundwater, on-site sensing of these …

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is a synthetic precursor and degradation product of
peroxide-based explosives, such as TATP. We developed a colorimetric sensor that is …

Forensic identification of batches of homemade explosives (HME) poses a difficult analytical
challenge. Differentiation among peroxide explosives is reported herein using a colorimetric …

Since peroxide-based explosives (PBEs) lack reactive functional groups, they cannot be
determined directly by most detection methods and are often detected indirectly by …

The detections of explosives and chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are always important for
global security. In this study, a simple donor (D)-acceptor (A) type small organic fluorescent …

Due to its relatively simple preparation and readily available precursors, determination of
triacetone triperoxide (TATP) by portable devices has become important. In this work, two …
