_Handbook of Odors in Plastic Materials, Second Edition,_ analyzes the
reasons behind unwanted odor formation and the methods for preventing
it. The book covers the fundamentals of odor formation and its
transport within a material, the relationship between odor and
toxicity, and seventeen methods of odor removal.
Odor can play a significant role in the success of a product; it can
decide whether a customer purchases the product in the first place, or
can be the cause of complaints or returns. Similarly, in scented
products, the retention of volatile components is a particular
challenge and opportunity. There are several factors which have an
impact on the formation of odors in plastic materials, including the
properties of the polymer, use of additives in processing, exposure to
radiation and oxygen, storage, and recycling.
Thirty-seven polymers and forty-one critical product groups are
analyzed based on the latest research publications and patents. The
book also discusses regulations related to odor in products, effects
of odor on health and safety, and the effect of odors from plastic
materials on indoor air quality.
