0646336TheisThis project has as its overall goal the initiation of studies in which life cycleinventory (LCI) and assessment (LCA) methods are used for carrying out evaluations of the environmental footprints of nanomanufacturing technologies. To date many research programs have taken up the product cycles and health impacts of nanomaterials, and many are exploring the potential of nanoproducts for environmental applications (membranes, sensors, etc.), but none have begun to examine directly nanomanufacturing technologies. At this stage of understanding and development of nanomanufacturing technologies, it is difficult to form testable hypotheses. It is very likely that some nano approaches will be measurably better in terms of their comparative environmental performance, while others will be worse. Thus this research is need-driven, as are many new research problems.

0646336 theis这个项目的总体目标是启动生命周期清单（LCI）和评估（LCA）方法对纳米制造技术的环境足迹进行评估的研究。迄今为止，许多研究项目已经开始研究纳米材料的产品周期和对健康的影响，许多研究项目正在探索纳米产品在环境应用（膜、传感器等）方面的潜力，但没有一个项目开始直接研究纳米制造技术。在纳米制造技术的理解和发展的这个阶段，很难形成可测试的假设。很有可能一些纳米方法在相对环境性能方面会明显更好，而另一些则会更差。因此，这项研究是需求驱动的，许多新的研究问题也是如此。
