Description
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).Ecomaterials, or "Green Materials", are those designed so as to minimize their environmental impact, while still maintaining or even increasing the desired operational performance. Ecomaterials research is an interdisciplinary field where scientists and engineers with backgrounds in both chemistry, and in materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and carbon, are involved in raising the environmental consciousness of industry and in motivating ecological research. This volume contains the papers presented during the fourth international symposium on ecomaterials processing and design, which was held on February 4-6, 2003 in Kangnung, Korea.
The book is divided into five sections: the first section deals with the use of non-hazardous alternatives as substitutes for traditional, but hazardous, components. The second section covers the incorporation of an end-of-life strategy into materials design. The third section covers the treatment of waste materials. The fourth section envisions manufacturing as being a more environmentally-friendly process. The final section treats the development of environmentally functional materials. Altogether, this volume constitutes an invaluable blueprint for a healthier millennium.
