Abstract
A new tracking fluorescent reagent was developed by use of polyacrylate gel, named “Aqua-chase”. Aqua-chase consists of crosslinked polyacrylate polymers such as adhering agents and a water-soluble fluorescent reagent. As the result of walking experiments using shoes with tracking fluorescent reagents on the sole, Aqua-chase adhered on the paved road surface up to six times more than compared with the reagent using vaseline, used generally as an adhering agent. Aqua-chase was found to be a useful tracking fluorescent reagent.
