An aromatic microcapsule, aromatic chemical fiber false eyelashes and preparation methods thereof. The preparation of the aromatic chemical fiber false eyelashes includes preparation of the aromatic microcapsule including preparation of a wall material solution and a core material solution including a niobate. The core material solution further contains a silane coupling agent and an essential oil or fragrance, where a mass ratio of the essential oil or fragrance to the silane coupling agent to the niobate is (1-3):(1-3):(0.5-1), and the niobate is KNa.sub.2[Nb.sub.24O.sub.72H.sub.21].Math.38H.sub.2O.

A resin composition comprises a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer. The resin composition further comprises a plurality of hydrated inorganic substances and/or a plurality of microcapsule particles dispersed in the styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer. The hydrated inorganic substances dehydration to form anhydrous inorganic substances at a dehydration temperature greater than 250 degrees Celsius. Each microcapsule particle comprises a housing and an embedded object encapsulated in the housing. The embedded object will largely volatilize from the housing at an escaping temperature greater than 250 degrees Celsius. A removable adhesive layer, an IC substrate, and an IC packaging process are also provided.

An appliance having one or more scented packaging materials is provided. The scented packaging materials removably attach to or support the appliance, e.g., during shipping. A preselected scent emanates from the scented packaging materials. Thus, when the appliance is delivered to a consumer, the preselected scent emanating from the scented packaging materials provides the appliance with an attractive smell.

A polypropylene composite resin composition and an automotive interior part molded using the polypropylene composite resin composition are provided herein. The polypropylene composite resin composition contains: (a) an easily injection moldable polypropylene polymer, (b) a thermoplastic elastomer for improving impact resistance, (c) a platy inorganic filler surface-treated with an organosilane having affinity for a phytoncide, (d) a phytoncide having deodorizing capability and aromaticity, (e) a processing oil preventing pyrolysis of the phytoncide, and (f) a surfactant for improving the compatibility between the base resin and the phytoncide at specific compositional ratios. The automotive interior part molded using the polypropylene composite resin composition disclosed herein provides a pleasant environment for drivers by removing the offensive odor from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), etc. and maintaining the intrinsic scent of the phytoncide for a long time.

Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful intermediates and products, such as aliphatic hydroxy-carboxylic acid and hydroxyl-carboxylic acid derivatives. These aliphatic hydroxy-carboxylic acids are, in turn, polymerized. The polymerization is carried out using a thin film evaporator or a thin film polymerization/devolatilization device. Conversion of lactic acid to poly lactic acid is an especially useful product to this process.

Sustainable thermoplastic carbohydrate-based polymeric materials, and sustainable plastic materials including an organic odor-reducing agent to counteract a slight burned carbohydrate odor resulting from inclusion of a carbohydrate-based polymeric material within the described materials. Such carbohydrate-based polymeric material may be starch-based, and the slight characteristic odor lent by such material may be that of a somewhat burned starch, such as a popcorn or caramel corn type odor. Applicant has found that this slight odor can be substantially removed by addition of a very small fraction of particular organic materials. 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin) has been found to be particularly effective, even in very small concentrations. Other freeze-dried fruit extracts (e.g., strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, etc.) may similarly be used. As little as 20 ppm of the organic odor-reducing agent is sufficient to substantially remove the characteristic burned starch odor. A ratio of the odor-reducing agent to the carbohydrate-based polymer may be less than 1:1000.

New plasticized compositions comprising cellulose acetate The present invention concerns a composition comprising: cellulose acetate, starch acetate, and at least one plasticizer, wherein cellulose acetate is present in an amount of at least 50% by weight with respect to the total weight of cellulose acetate, starch acetate and plasticizer(s), and wherein said at least one plasticizer is present in an amount of at most 18% by weight with respect to the total weight of cellulose acetate, starch acetate and plasticizer(s). The present invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of a plasticized article, to the use of said composition for producing a plasticized article, and to the use of starch acetate to prevent or diminish the exudation of one or more plasticizers from plastic materials containing cellulose acetate and such plasticizer(s), and/or to increase the maximal use temperature in application for a material comprising cellulose acetate.

The present invention relates to a polymer composition having low sensory impression of smell comprising a polypropylene and a calcium salt of phosphoric acid, wherein in said polymer composition the amount of said calcium salt of phosphoric acid is preferably such to accomplish a sensory impression of smell measured according to VDA 270 of at most 4.0.

The present invention relates to a malodour counteracting composition as well as to a perfuming composition, a packaging material, and a consumer product comprising the malodour counteracting composition according to the invention. Further, the present invention relates to a method for limiting, reducing or eliminating the perception of malodours associated with plastic materials, comprising the step of adding the malodour counteracting composition according to the invention to a plastic material.
