Handbook of Odors in Plastic Materials

The Handbook of Odors in Plastic Materials, 3rd Edition provides technical analysis regarding the causes of unwanted odor formation and outlines methods for its prevention. Designed as a comprehensive reference handbook, it supports academic researchers, material scientists, chemists, and professional engineers, as well as upper-level undergraduate and graduate students seeking clear guidance on polymer scent behavior.

The text structures its coverage around core operational themes. It begins by examining the mechanisms of odor formation alongside transport within plastic materials. From there, it transitions into formal testing methods in odor analysis, followed by practical methods of odor removal during resin synthesis, compounding, and product manufacturing.

Author George Wypych brings extensive technical authority to the volume, drawing upon his background holding a Ph.D. in chemical engineering with 18 published books and 47 scientific papers. His work supports advanced study across university curricula and material engineering environments.
