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

Chappell M.A., Shih W-S, Bledsoe J.K., Cox C., Janzen D., Gibbons S., Patel R., Kennedy A.J., Brame J., Brondum M., Diamond S.A., Coleman J., Edwards D., 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 [...]

Gaining critical mass: A dose metric conversion study using silver nanoparticles

Kennedy A.J., Hull M.S., Diamond S., Chappell M., Bednar A., Bednar A.J., Bednar A., Bednar A.J., Steevens J.A., US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, US

Mass is still the standard dose metric applied in the nano(eco)toxicology literature. Greater particle surface area or number may be more relevant dose metrics than mass to represent particle interactions with biological surfaces. This investigation [...]
