1. A tagged polymer composition, comprising:
- a base polymer composition comprising a forensic polymer composition and a dynamic response authentication marker, wherein the forensic polymer composition comprises a marked polymer having a forensic authentication marker;
wherein the forensic authentication marker is present in an amount sufficient to be detected by a forensic analytical technique;
wherein the dynamic response authentication marker is present in an amount sufficient to be detected by a dynamic response analytical technique; and
wherein, when tested, the dynamic response authentication marker has a change in mode.
