Materials selection and design for structural polymers
TLDR
In this paper, the principles for materials selection are presented as a model with different steps from definition of functions to the feedback from the delivered product, and examples of methods to fulfil demands for manufacturing, assembly, disassembly, service and recycling, etc, are also presented as well as environmental friendly solutions for product development.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed overview of developments in transducer materials technology relating to their current and future applications in micro-scale devices is provided. And a short discussion of structural polymers that are extending the range of micro-fabrication techniques available to designers and production engineers beyond the limitations of silicon fabrication technology is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials selection and design for development of sustainable products
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present guidelines for sustainable product development with special regard to material, design and ecology, and a description of materials selection and models for design based on a sustainable society is also presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Raman, mid-infrared, near-infrared and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy of PDMS silicone rubber for characterization of polymer optical waveguide materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the vibrational C H stretching overtone and combination bands dominate the spectra, rendering an optical characterization of core and clad materials, which also provides information for the synthesis and optical characterization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design, materials selection and marketing of successful products
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach to present a materials selection model that is an integral part in an integrated product development model, in which both physical and metaphysical properties are analysed for different types of products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Product designers’ information needs in materials selection
TL;DR: In this paper, the content and presentation of information about materials should be accustomed to product designers' approaches and needs, and four empirical studies elaborated on these needs to evaluate how currently used information sources deal with them.
