Features:
• Fills a gap in the literature as the first book to focus on textile and odour interaction
• Discusses microbiological aspects of odour formation in simple terms
• Details the role of textile fibres and structures on odour formation
• Describes various testing methods, standards, and regulatory norms for odour analysis
This book will appeal to a broad audience, including industry professionals in the textiles industry, hygiene and health care, the chemical and finishing industry, and odour measurement and testing. It will also interest advanced students and research scholars studying textile engineering, clothing science, and fashion design.
