Abstract:
The volatility behavior of perfume compounds in poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(propylene oxide)/poly(ethylene oxide) copolymer
was investigated by means of dynamic and static headspace analyses. Suppression of the volatility of perfume compounds by
EO105PO27EO105 copolymer was markedly greater than by polyethyleneglycol. This suppressive effect may be due to micelle and gel formation
of EO105PO27EO105 copolymer. EO105PO27EO105 copolymer is expected to be useful as a novel sustained-release carrier that maintains constant release rates for the volatility
of perfume compounds over a wide temperature range.
