While this is particularly true for high melting point fuels and oxidizers in the composition, to a lesser extent it is also true for those with low melting points. Particle morphology also constitutes an important part of establishing the likelihood of a forensic match between evidence and materials of known origin. This article catalogs and briefly discusses some morphologic features often associated with some of the most commonly used low melting point oxidizers in pyrotechnic compositions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> morphology, oxidizer, forensics,&nbsp;pyrotechnics, potassium nitrat<font face=\"TimesNewRoman\">e<\/font><\/p>\n<p> <font face=\"TimesNewRoman\"><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Ref:<\/strong> Selected Pyrotechnic Publication of K.L. and B.J Kosanke, Part 5, (1998-2000), pp 120-130<br \/> (K5_120)<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K.
