Eco-Materials Processing and Design X

Edited by: Hyungsun Kim, JienFeng Yang, Tohru Sekino and Soo Wohn Lee

Online since: April 2009

Description: The aim of this special volume is to give an overview of the historical background and present status of eco-materials processing and design for materials research, and to foresee future trends in the field. Serious global and environmental problems have led the materials manufacturing industries to monitor closely the formation and accumulation of carbon dioxide and other deleterious gases in the atmosphere, as well to reduce raw materials use and energy consumption and limit other factors which reflect the environmental impact of the industry.
