Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing training aid materials for detecting homemade explosives includes spreading an explosive powder on a porous surface, storing the surface in a container that facilitates sublimation of the explosive powder such that the explosive powder redeposits onto the surface and into the pores over a period of time, and removing the surface from the container after the period of time to yield training aid materials. An additional method includes preparing a dilute solution of an explosive reaction mixture, and depositing the dilute solution on a surface prior to formation of an explosive product by the explosive reaction mixture. The surface is stored in a contain that facilitates formation of the explosive product, and removed after a period of time and cleaned to remove unreacted precursors to yield training aid materials.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing training aid materials for detecting homemade explosives, comprising: spreading an explosive powder on a porous surface; storing the porous surface in a container that facilitates sublimation of the explosive powder for at least a period of time sufficient to enable the sublimed explosive powder to redeposit onto the porous surface; and removing the porous surface having the redeposited explosive powder from the container after…
