[摘要]：This paper deals with the development of MATto, a virtual and physical library including more than 500 innovative material samples. The most important feature of this material library is to provide a deep analysis of the perceptual performances and eco-properties of the materials in the database. As far as the material eco-properties are concerned, a study has been carried out and it is aimed at developing a list of ecodesign guidelines to help the material selection; those are derived from the well-known eco-guidelines concept and should be adopted to improve the product life cycle performances. The material selection guidelines described here have been derived from 3 main eco-strategies: use of resources with a low environmental impact, material's life extension, and environmental ethics and policies. For each material guideline, different quantitative and qualitative parameters/eco-properties have been identified in order to define an environmental multicriteria profile, to describe the material properties and facilitate the choice of the most suitable materials for a green product. The results collected so far in the process of defining the environmental properties of the MATto materials are described in this paper. (c) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
