Research Progress on Ecological Design Methods of Materials

Abstract:

Ecological design of material is to use the ecological ideology in the material design process, considering the ecological environment problems in the life cycle of material, and scheme out the material which can both meet the demand of human and environment. This paper introduces some ecological design ideas and methods used in the material field, and the latest progress of ecological design and each of their advantages are summarized, the ecological design method of the typical materials is obtained. And finally the present problems to be solved and the future development direction of the ecological design puts forward.
