Environmentally Benign Manufacturing
How might mankind enjoy the fruits of an advanced civilization without endangering the viability of planet Earth for future generations? That is the fundamental challenge that we confront in the 21st century. In a time when the comforts and pleasures that can be derived from the products of modern technology are accessible for a significant portion of the world’s population, how can we manufact...
متن کاملEnvironmentally Benign Pyrotechnic Delays
Pyrotechnic delays are used in commercial and military items requiring a time delay between two energetic events. For example, US Army hand-held signals (HHS) use a delay element to properly sequence the expulsion of illuminating rounds at the rockets’ apex. Many military delay formulations contain barium, lead, chromates, and perchlorates. The US Army is reformulating pyrotechnic items to remo...
متن کاملTeaching Environmentally Benign Manufacturing
Teaching Environmentally Benign Manufacturing (EBM) presents the general challenges of teaching an application rather than a discipline. This is not too different from the challenges of teaching manufacturing about ten years ago. In that case we could rely heavily on successful practice and then develop principles to explain those successes. The principal success at that time was the Toyota Pro...
متن کاملPromoting environmentally benign electric vehicles
In the last decade a rapidly growing interest in electrification of transport passenger cars could be noticed. The major motivation are the problems related to the use of fossil fuels in the transport sector such as crude oil dependency, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and air pollution. Electric vehicles (EV) are often presented as zero-emission vehicles. However, from a lifecycle CO2 perspecti...
متن کاملTrehalose and trehalose-based polymers for environmentally benign, biocompatible and bioactive materials.
Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide that is found in many organisms but not in mammals. This sugar plays important roles in cryptobiosis of selaginella mosses, tardigrades (water bears), and other animals which revive with water from a state of suspended animation induced by desiccation. The interesting properties of trehalose are due to its unique symmetrical low-energy structure, wherein...
