This grant provides for the development of a method for quickly comparing different industrial coating choices based on their environmental and societal impacts and their performance in a given application. The method will expedite the selection of industrial coatings during conceptual design by developing a set of expressions that relate coating key performance criteria (hardness, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, etc.) to environmental and societal impacts (human health effects, resource depletion, energy utilization, etc.). The research will seek to produce a taxonomy of auditable environmental characteristics relevant in the selection of industrial coatings; an underlying method for trading off environmental concerns over the entire life-cycle of an industrial coating from its production, through its use, removal, and reapplication; and the relationships used in industrial coatings selection to balance environmental impact and cost as a measure of functionality.If successful, this research will yield a fundamental bridge between design, the environment, and auditing; allowing all three to operate with a single schedule of environmental and societal impact. Specifically, the project will provide a rapid, quantitative methodology for identifying the most environmentally benign candidate for a given coating application, which minimizes energy and resource utilization, without conducting exhaustive analyses of the systems. After application by design engineers, the result could be reduced environmental impact from everyday products.

该赠款用于开发一种方法，根据其环境和社会影响及其在特定应用中的性能快速比较不同的工业涂料选择。 该方法将通过开发一套与涂层关键性能标准（硬度、耐腐蚀性、耐化学性等）相关的表达式，加快概念设计期间工业涂层的选择。对环境和社会的影响（人类健康影响、资源消耗、能源利用等）。 这项研究将设法对与工业涂料的选择有关的可审计的环境特征进行分类;在工业涂料从生产到使用、去除和重新应用的整个生命周期内权衡环境问题的基本方法;以及在工业涂料选择中使用的关系，以平衡环境影响和成本作为功能性的衡量标准。如果成功，这项研究将在设计、环境和审计之间建立一座基础性的桥梁，使这三个方面都能在一个单一的环境和社会影响时间表上运作。 具体而言，该项目将提供一种快速、定量的方法，用于确定特定涂层应用的最环保候选物，从而最大限度地减少能源和资源利用，而无需对系统进行详尽的分析。 经过设计工程师的应用，结果可以减少日常产品对环境的影响。
