AB  - The detection of explosives and explosive devices based on the volatile compounds 
      they emit is a long-standing tool for law enforcement and physical security. 
      Toward that end, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas 
      chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has become a crucial analytical tool for 
      the identification of volatiles emitted by explosives. Previous SPME studies have 
      identified many volatile compounds emitted by common explosive formulations that 
      serve as the main charge in explosive devices. However, limited research has been 
      conducted on initiators like fuses, detonating cords, and boosters. In this 
      study, a variety of SPME fiber coatings (i.e., polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), 
      polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB), 
      divinylbenzene/carboxin/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS), and 
      carboxin/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS)) were employed for the extraction and 
      analysis of volatiles from Composition C-4 (cyclohexanone, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and 
      2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMNB)) and Red Dot double-base smokeless powder 
      (nitroglycerine, phenylamine). The results revealed that a PDMS/DVB fiber was 
      optimal. Then, an assortment of explosive items (i.e., detonation cord, safety 
      fuse, slip-on booster, and shape charge) were analyzed with a PDMS/DVB fiber. A 
      variety of volatile compounds were identified, including plasticizers (tributyl 
      acetyl citrate, N-butylbenzenesulfonamide), taggants (DMNB), and degradation 
      products (2-ethyl-1-hexanol).
