Ecomaterials, or Green Materials, are those designed so as to minimize their environmental impact, while still maintaining or even increasing the desired operational performance. Ecomaterials research is an interdisciplinary field where scientists and engineers with backgrounds in both chemistry, and in materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and carbon, are involved in raising the environmental consciousness of industry and in motivating ecological research. This volume contains the papers presented during the fourth international symposium on ecomaterials processing and design, which was held on February 4-6, 2003 in Kangnung, Korea.

The book will present materials researchers and users with a wealth of new information covering the entire spectrum of ecology, eco-materials, nano-materials, bio-materials, recycling, environmental protection and energy conversion related materials. It is divided into seven sections: the first deals with photocatalysts for air pollution, water pollution, deodorizing, self-cleaning, power light sources, and the standardization of methodologies in photocatalytic reactivity. The second section covers the incorporation of end-of-life strategies into materials design as well as biomaterials. The third section covers the use of non-hazardous components as substitutes for traditional, but hazardous, components. The fourth section covers the treatment of waste materials, and the fifth section describes manufacturing via the using of more environmentally-friendly processing (eco-processing) and eco-materials design. The final section covers energy-related or energy-conversion related materials such as hydrogen-energy/fuel-cells and batteries. A book not to be missed.
