Environmental Life Cycle Assessment for a Carbon Nanotube-Based Printed Electronic Sensor Platform

Bledsoe J.K., Brame J., Brondum M., Chappell M.A., Coleman J., Cox C., Diamond S.A., Edwards D., Gibbons S., Janzen D., Kennedy A.J., Patel R., Shih W-S, Steevens J.A., U.S. Army Engineer Research & Development Center, US

Here, we describe efforts to characterize the potential environmental impact associated with the manufacture of a newly developed printed electronic temperature sensor using environmental life cycle assessment (Eco-LCA). The sensor is composed of a specialized [...]

Health and Safety Screening of Advanced Materials: A User Interface for Test Design Selection and Documentation

Brame J., Chappell M., Diamond S., Kennedy A.J., Panchal V., Poda A., Rycroft T., Shih W-S, Wood M., US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, US

The novel properties of advanced materials (AdMs), including nanomaterials (NMs), offer opportunities to improve conventional materials and create new material applications. However, these same properties may place AdMs into a high risk prioritization category within [...]

Quantifying release of nano- and advanced materials

Alberts E., Brame J., Jackson C., Kennedy A., Poda A., US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, US

The same unique properties of Manufactured Nanomaterials (MNs) and Advanced Materials (AMs) that make them desirable for new product applications may also increase their environmental health and safety (EHS) uncertainty , leading to high risk [...]
