Examination of drying of fake blood vs original blood on different types of fabric
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the drying characteristics of synthetic and genuine blood on different kinds of fabric in order to comprehend the forensic consequences. Cotton, polyester, silk, rayon, and other textiles were treated with samples of both natural and artificial blood. To document variations in stain morphology, evaporation rate, and absorption was monitored in a controlled atmosphere. The findings show that while synthetic fibers like polyester dry more quickly because of their water-repellent qualities, natural fibers like cotton take longer to dry because of their higher absorption. It was also observed that actual and fake blood differed in visual traits such color, form, and clotting patterns. These results improve the precision of bloodstain interpretation by providing insightful information about crime scene analysis.
