In this paper, the development of products facing a complex qualification profile, which includes besides other technical, but also economic and ecological aspects, are not sufficient included in material development, especially from a Life cycle point of view, to provide them for the phase of product development.
Abstract
Materials, defined as solids with a function, are basic modules for products in our everyday living and work environment. The development of products facing a complex qualification profile, which includes besides other technical, but also economic and ecological aspects. The two later aspects are not sufficient included in material development, especially from a Life cycle point of view, to provide them for the phase of product development.
