4. Materials Technology for Environment Session
The Materials Technology for Environment is the forum for the presentation of new advance and research results in the materials technological fields of remediation and sensing, environmental impacts of products and services and innovation for sustainable living. The aim is to initiate the cooperation among worldwide scientific and technological researchers, manufacturers, academic staff and students in the fields.
Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:
Materials for Environmental Remediation and Sensing This topic will focus on processing, characterization of materials and development of devices applied to technologies for detection and removal of contaminants in the environments such as atmosphere, water, soil and others. Selected work must be original and present results that demonstrate sensing properties or environmental remediation properties. Examples are:
- Sensing materials for monitoring gaseous and liquid pollutants
- Functional materials or systems for detoxifying harmful substances in the environments
- Modeling of materials, devices and sensor systems
- Device fabrication, testing and aging
- Characterization techniques for the detection of contaminants from the environments.
Environmental impacts of products and services The topic will focus on life-cycle assessment based sustainable processes or products, life-cycle inventory, carbon footprint, water footprint, etc. to make the point that sustainability is measurable and therefore feasible, thus providing consumers choices, which can drive the sustainability of system and society. Examples are:
- Sustainability assessment (Environmental, Economic, Social)
- Carbon & Water footprint of products and organizations
- Environmental management directive (e.g. 3R, Clean Technology, Material Flow Cost Accounting, Eco efficiency)
- Green product procurement
Innovation for sustainable living The topic will focus on innovative science and technology that foster environmentally friendly, socially sound, healthy, and sustainable living. Examples include:
- Materials for sustainable construction
- Innovative design of habitats
- Natural lighting, heating, air conditioning, or ventilation
- Sustainable food or water production systems
- Psychology for behavior change toward sustainable living
- Environmentally-conscious designs of products for society or the environment
