Abstract:
The ability for introduction of innovation, improve products, services and work processes is becoming increasingly important for the construction industry today. This paper focuses on the personal and socio-psychological characteristics of innovation: employee attitudes toward innovations, the degree of employee involvement in innovation activity, personal motivation and incentives. It was found that the innovative behavior of workers in construction organizations is positively influenced by: participative leadership style, support of employees’ innovative behavior on the part of management, external business contacts, innovative results, successful practice of introducing innovations in the firm (enterprise). These factors, combined with material incentives, the desire for self-realization, the involvement of employees in all stages of the innovation process, create a suitable environment for the innovative activity of employees.

Abstract:
In today’s global market system innovation is the driver for economic development and wealth creation. Developing a competitive advantage now requires a business culture of rapid innovation, collaborative strategies, a systematic methodology, and a culture of concurrent change. This is the reality in today’s innovation economy and particularly relative to developing alternative energy systems and materials. With the ever-increasing requirements for energy in a growing economy and the political, environmental, and resource constraints prevalent in today’s world, new, more efficient energy systems are mandatory. The U.S. has experienced inadequate energy generation capacity in key geographic regions further emphasizing the need to enhance our energy generation capacity through a multitude of energy sources. A viable capacity additive to this supply and demand dilemma is the development of alternative energy sources such as fuel cells, photovoltaics, and wind. To achieve this capacity additive will require significant advancement in key engineering materials combined with innovation stimulants to leap-frog the current performance and cost barriers for competitive energy producing alternatives. The energy demand curve experienced globally over the past few years illustrates unmet market needs where opportunity exists to develop innovative key materials to enable the projected growth for renewable and biomass markets. To accelerate advanced materials to market in the energy arena requires a system of enabling innovation combined with the development of a collaborative approach to optimize available resources. Collaborative partnerships between multiple companies incorporating technology, market/distribution, and financial investors are essential to optimize innovation and successful commercialization of technology. Higher value disruptive innovations meet new market needs while pushing a company to new technology and/or capability requirements. Competitive success for innovative technology increasingly depends on speed to market and speed to profits.

Abstract:
This thesis is intended to help eliminate misconceptions and missing information over the realm of smart materials, by offering a newly structured &lsquo
Information Hierarchy for Smart Materials Communication for Industrial / Product Design&rsquo
. Industrial and product designers are invited to use the findings of the thesis to assist in developing a common smart materials language and culture, enriched by details, technicalities, opportunities, and creative and innovative material attributes. The study commences with the creation of a concise and compact reservoir of technical knowledge on smart materials and critically contrasts two established systems of classification for smart materials. Then, the subject of materials information appropriate to industrial design is discussed, highlighting channels through which smart materials information may be communicated at an optimum level so as to be amenable to exploitation by industrial designers. A sectoral analysis of smart materials use follows, including the presentation of factors that may hinder their more extensive exploitation in major industrial sectors. v The thesis concludes that smart materials have potential to initiate a breakthrough in the materials universe, and that industrial designers have a role in promoting smart materials knowledge, the capabilities of smart materials, and their innovation possibilities. It is recomended that since smart materials are a new generation of materials quite different from the conventional, they be promoted carefully through the proposed Information Hierarchy.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on eco-design trade-offs and material selection in a Small to Medium–Sized Enterprise (SME) producing office furniture. The rationale for undertaking this work is based on the wide acceptance that eco-design uptake in SMEs remains low and the need for SMEs to adopt eco-design is pressing. SMEs constitute 99.9% of UK private sector business and it has been estimated that SMEs account for approximately 64-70% of overall pollution from industry. Supporting SMEs in adopting eco-design is challenging. The complexities of eco-design decision-making, poor understanding of environmental trade-offs, limited access to relevant information and complex eco-design methods (amongst others) negatively affect an SME’s ability to reduce a product’s environmental impacts. The aim of this research is to deepen understanding of eco-design by investigating eco-design trade-offs and material selection during the development of eco-innovative office furniture products. This improves understanding of environmental impact reduction at the material selection and concept stage of the design process. The research design is an intensive single case study at Orangebox, a UK market leader in the design and manufacture of office furniture. The case company is selected, as a best practice example of eco-design integration within an SME. Four embedded case studies of New Product Development (NPD) are conducted within the main case. The research employs a multi-strategy design using both qualitative and quantitative methods and is delivered over two stages. The contributions to knowledge of the thesis are (1) the identification and description of a set of eco-design trade-offs linked to specific eco-design strategies (design for disassembly, light-weighting, material streamlining) and (2) the thesis argues that stakeholders play a crucial role in eco-innovative material selection. From this, the thesis presents a conceptual classification of a material portfolio incorporating eco-design strategies and trade-offs to facilitate eco-innovation during NPD.

Abstract:
In the past decades, the world has noticed complex changes in its climate. The resources available now as well as in the future could be said to be analogous to the decreasing circumference of a funnel. The wealthy population with the means to elect what goods they wish to consume are becoming aware of their impact both on nature as well as on the less fortunate people of the planet. As a consequence environmental and human-centered factors are of higher priority than ever before in the decisions made by companies, which in turn will decide the future. This thesis aims to investigate what set of criteria can be seen as most relevant for sustainable material selection at a manufacturing company. To be relevant for the future these design criteria are decided with a base in modern research from the past decade in the field of material selection. The company chosen as a case to study and collaborate with was IKEA Components AB. The research was conducted on-site at the company’s facilities in Älmhult, Småland, as well as at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Blekinge. The company vision for the future which IKEA is striving towards is focused on lowering carbon dioxide equivalents, from which a lion share of the emissions is a result of the material they are selecting for their products. Experts within various fields of the chosen company were consulted to gain perspective and knowledge while designing and testing prototypes of a tool to facilitate a sustainable material selection. The metal alloys were analyzed for toxicity based on the percentages of all elements they contained and scored based on chosen sustainability criteria. The plastics were judged on recyclability, renewability, and degradability apart from available numbers for emission factors. After this, the materials were placed in the excel tool which was then tested by engineers and evaluated in semi-structured interviews. Updates were made to make the tool as user-friendly as was possible and new tests were conducted. Overall, the tool was appreciated by the users who tested it and more improvements were planned to finalize the prototype. Results are detailed in the latter part of the report, discussing designs the engineers preferred over others, the current scale of sustainability tools used in the company and how the testers scored the tool. In the discussion, criteria are evaluated based on their multi-criteria compliance with sustainability factors. Drawing conclusions about the subject of sustainability criteria was accomplished by conducting literature studies in material criticality, making use of the methods for sustainable product development taught in the master of science, investigating material toxicity, testing solutions for sustainable material selection at a typical furniture component manufacturing company, receiving feedback from constructors and exploring connections for the selected methods to the principles of sustainability.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the gradual and by no means unproblematic emergence of solar photovoltaic technologies (PV) in European cities. It is a qualitative study of innovation in urban PV across three European cities: Barcelona (Spain), London (UK) and Paris (France) which draws on documentary evidence and interview data with a broad range of urban professionals engaged in implementing the technology. The thesis interrogates current understandings of how ‘green’ technologies such as PV are thought to bring about ‘sustainable’ transformations by ‘breaking through’ from the margins into mainstream society. Several innovation studies frameworks are assessed in terms of their merits and shortcomings for understanding innovation in urban PV. It is argued that extant literatures succinctly frame innovation as an interplay between that which is ‘novel’ and that which is ‘in place’, however, that they fail to address three issues that are critical for understanding how new technologies may emerge and transform: the multiplicity and heterogeneity of actors and their means for contesting ‘sustainable’ (or other) transformations, the complex spatio-temporality of ‘barriers’ to innovation, and the ways in which technologies gather humans, materials and spaces into new, potentially more ‘sustainable’ constellations. The thesis develops ‘material semiotics’ as a conceptual foundation and methodology for understanding innovation. Material semiotics provides powerful analytical sensibilities that enable the thesis to radically re-imagine the objects, processes and places involved in innovation. Through understanding innovation as characterised by attempts to bring forth into the present aspirations for alternative futures, urban PV is understood as simultaneously a vehicle for, as well as an outcome of, sustainable transformation. Its entanglement in a myriad of social, material, spatial and temporal relations is shown to engender a geography of ‘sustainable’ innovation that is much more partial and imperfect than current understandings suggest.

Abstract:
O presente estudo trata de temas relacionados à seleção de materiais e ao design de produto frente às questões ambientais. Percebe-se atualmente a tendência de desenvolvimento de produtos insustentáveis, como é o caso dos multi-materiais. Apesar das vantagens técnicas, esses produtos são causadores de impactos ambientais negativos, já que apresentam dificuldades de reciclagem, decorrentes da complexidade na separação dos seus materiais. Na presente pesquisa discute-se, através de revisão bibliográfica e de estudos práticos, a necessidade de desenvolvimento de soluções a curto prazo para esse problema. O objetivo consiste em estudar a reciclagem de produtos multi-materiais, sem separação prévia, visando a utilização do material resultante em novas aplicações com valor agregado. O estudo divide-se em: (I) Revisão Bibliográfica, (II) Estudo Prático A e (III) Estudo Prático B. Na revisão bibliográfica apresenta-se o contexto teórico e científico a respeito dos temas centrais para posterior discussão dos resultados obtidos nas etapas práticas. O Estudo Prático A envolve a reciclagem de escovas de dente multi-materiais através de micronização. Posteriormente o material resultante foi caracterizado por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), teste de densidade, ensaio de tração e análise térmica dinâmico-mecânico (DMA). Apresentou-se ainda a seleção de potenciais áreas de aplicação para o novo material reciclado, por meio de Mapas de Propriedades de Materiais e teste de viabilidade da aplicação selecionada. No Estudo Prático B utilizam-se duas amostras com granulometrias distintas, para avaliar a influência do tamanho das partículas do material reciclado. Na etapa de caracterização, além dos ensaios conduzidos no Estudo A, realizou-se ainda distribuição granulométrica, ensaio de dureza, calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC) e análise termogravimétrica (TGA). Os resultados demonstraram a viabilidade técnica de se promover a reciclagem de escovas de dente multi-materiais por meio do processo de reciclagem mecânica tradicional sem separação prévia. O material reciclado apresentou potencial para ser utilizado na fabricação de laminado sintético para produção de calçados e componentes. Na avaliação da influência do tamanho das partículas, constatou-se que não houve influência significativa no material resultante. Destaca-se ainda como contribuição e tecnológica deste estudo a proposição de uma alternativa tecnicamente viável para a reciclagem de produtos teoricamente “não-recicláveis”, contribuindo com a redução da geração de resíduos sólidos.
This study deals with issues related to product design and material selection, facing the environmental issues. Developments in design and materials usage unleashed the tendency of developing unsustainable products, as the multi-materials. These products cause severe negative environmental impacts, since its recycling is difficulted by the complexity in separating the materials. In this context, it is argued, through literature review and practical studies, the need of developing short-term solutions to this problem. The objective is to study multi-material products recycling, without previous sorting, aiming the use of the resulting material in applications with added value. The research is divided in three parts: (I) Bibliographic Review, (II) Practical Study A and (III) Practical Study B. Bibliographic Review presents the scientific and theoretic context regarding the central themes for later discussion of the results obtained in the practical parts. Practical Study A involves the reprocessing of multi-material toothbrushes through micronization. Subsequently, the resulting material is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), density test, tensile test and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). It is also presented the selection of potential areas of application for the new recycled material through Materials Properties Charts and a viability test of the selected application. In Practical Study B, two samples of different particle sizes were used to evaluate the influence of the recycled material’s particle sizes. In the characterization stage, in addition to the tests conducted in Study A, granulometric distribution, hardness test, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were also performed. The results demonstrated the technical feasibility of reprocessing multi-material toothbrushes through the traditional mechanical recycling process, without previous sorting. The recycled material presented potential for application in synthetic laminates for shoes and components production. Regarding the particles size influence, it was found that there was no significant influence in the resulted material. There is also the technological contribution which is the proposition of an alternative for the recycling of theoretically "non-recyclable" products, contributing to the reduction of solid waste generation.

Abstract:
The Swedish Fintech company that is subject to this thesis has proposed a process through which all new ideas should go through before entering the development funnel, called the ‘Proof-of-Concept-process’. Today, there exists no material that helps and guides the idea owner through one of the more extensive phases of that process. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a material for this phase. The material is developed through a literature review and qualitative interviews. The topics included in the literature review are: ‘Innovation’, ‘Uncertainty’, ‘Front End of Innovation’ and ‘Business Modelling’. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were performed separately with three out of four members of the top management team. Continuous discussions with the industrial supervisor facilitated the development of the framework. The result consists of two parts, (1) the results from the interviews with the management team which aims to lay the foundation for the requirement specification on which components the framework should contain, and (2) a framework for how business modelling can be done at this phase of the innovation process. The result is a material that uses the graphical branding of the company so that it can be treated as an internal document. An unbranded version of the result is presented in this thesis. The framework is presented together with a deeper analysis of the separate building blocks that form its structure, together with suggestions on techniques that aims to help the user of the material. We argue that the result is a business modelling framework that considers recommendations for how to handle the FEI, and that regards theory on business modelling as well as interviews with managers at the subject company to establish what techniques such a framework should include. Further, the result is based on a wide variety of literature and authors. Concluding, we argue that the result can be considered a bridge between two relatively young research areas ‘Front end of Innovation’ and ‘Business Modelling’ with its primary application at one specific company.
Det svenska Fintech-bolaget som behandlas i denna masteruppsats har föreslagit en process genom vilken alla nya idéer ska gå igenom innan dess genomförbarhet testas i en ’Proof-of-Concept’. Denna process är på företaget kallad ‘Proof-of-Concept-processen’. Idag finns det inget material som hjälper och guidar idéägaren genom en av de mer omfattande faserna av processen. Syftet med denna masteruppsats är att utveckla ett material för denna fas.  Materialet baseras på en litteraturstudie och kvalitativa intervjuer. De ämnen som ingår i litteraturstudien är: ‘Innovation’, ‘Uncertainty’, ‘Front End of Innovation’ och ‘Business Modelling’. Kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer utfördes separat med tre av ledningens fyra medlemmar. Kontinuerlig diskussion fördes med företagshandledaren för att facilitera ramverkets utveckling. Resultatet består av två delar, (1) resultaten från intervjuerna med ledningsgruppen som syftar till att ligga till grund för kravspecifikationen på vilka komponenter materialet ska innehålla och (2) ett ramverk för hur affärsmodellering kan ske i detta stadie av innovationsprocessen. Resultatet är ett material med företagets grafiska profil för att det ska kunna bli behandlat som ett internt dokument. En version av materialet som inte har företagets grafiska språk presenteras. Ramverket presenteras tillsammans med en djupare analys av de separata byggstenar som tillsammans utgör dess struktur, samt förslag på tekniker som syftar till att hjälpa användaren av materialet att utveckla sin idé inför nästa utvärderingsmöte och möjliggöra en demokratisering av innovationsprocessen. Ramverkets struktur är ett resultat av inspiration från existerande ramverk samt intervjuerna vilket bidrar till dess anpassning till företagets specifika innovationsprocess. Vi anser att resultatet är ett ramverk för affärsmodellering som beskriver rekommendationer för hur man hanterar de tidiga faserna av innovationsprocessen. Ramverket och dess teoretiska bakgrund är baserat på ett brett utbud av litteratur och författare. Avslutningsvis hävdar vi att ramverket kan betraktas som en bro mellan två relativt unga forskningsområden ’Front End of Innovation’ och ’Business Modelling’ med sitt primära tillämpningsområde på det behandlade företaget.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the possibilities and limitations ofresidual products from the Swedish food industry for new uses inpackaging design. The selection in the study is semi strategicallyrandom and through the selection four interviews were conductedvia e-mail, two interviews from RISE and two from the Swedishdesign agencies Snask and Bedow. The interviews are based on thestudy's question issues; What innovative packaging materials withproperties corresponding to plastics are available in the Swedishmarket? And How does a selection of Swedish design agenciesapproach the innovative packaging materials available on theSwedish market? Through results and analysis we have come tothe conclusion that there is a great awareness of design agencieswhen it comes to making environmentally conscious designdecisions and that it is highly relevant in today's society. Duringthe study, interesting packaging material was discovered. What hasalso emerged is that it is a matter of course to have to be climatefriendly as everything depends on demand from customers andconsumers. There are no direct regulations to relate to, but it is upto each individual how to relate to a more sustainabledevelopment. However, in order for a societal transformation totake place, collaboration between the various social sectors isrequired (Svenska vetenskapsrådet Formas, 2018).

Abstract:
Il volume offre numerosi spunti sul tema Permanenze e innovazioni nell'architettura del Mediterraneo, dimostrandone l'ampiezza di aspetti riconducibili alla Tecnologia dell'architettura, di cui si evidenzia la flessibilità dei confini disciplinari con riferimento ai diversi significati assumibili dal concetto di risorsa. Letta in continuità con le precedenti pubblicazioni Osdotta, questa consente di seguire quanto si va sviluppando nel terzo livello di formazione in un momento particolarmente critico per l'istituzione universitaria, continuando a porre l'accento sul nodo domanda/offerta di ricerca, nel confronto con altre istituzioni e con il mondo della produzione di settore, nell'attuale scenario dominato da trasformazioni sempre più rapide e incisive. La qualificazione dei corsi di dottorato, attraverso la riflessione sugli esiti immediati e a lungo termine, parallelamente alla precisazione dei contenuti identitari del settore disciplinare, restano le principali sfide da continuare ad affrontare. This publication provides considerable material for reflection on the subject of Mediterranean Architecture between Heritage and Innovation, demonstrating the wide range of aspects linked to Architectural Technology, in which one is struck by the flexibility of the disciplinary boundaries with regard to the various meanings that can be applied to the concept of resource. Taken together with the previous publications of Osdotta, this consents one to trace the developments in the third level of education at a particularly critical time for the university institution; the emphasis continues to be placed on the crucial issue of supply/demand of research; the situation is compared with other institutions and with the world of production in this sector, in a present-day scenario dominated by ever more rapid and incisive transformations. The main challenges left to be faced are to improve the quality of PhD courses, after due reflection on the immediate and long-term results, whilst defining more precisely the identitary contents of the disciplinary sector.

Abstract:
The paper here proposed introduces the Design-driven Material Innovation Methodology as a systematic approach in new material-product development processes as a possible strategic tool for design schools, practitioners and SMEs. Scientists and engineers are problem solver, but to engender innovations of success requires not only technological exploitations but also a broader understanding of materials meaningful application for consumers. For the design language, material performances are based in technological performance and also on experience, perception and cultural values. Nowadays the design knowledge and skills are approaching us to a new materials research scenario where creative communities, scientists and material industries are becoming deeply engaged in the creative challenge to achieve material functionality and meanings. Considering these and others factors, the Design Department of Politecnico di Milano promoted in October 2014 the Material Design Culture Research Center (MADEC) funded by FARB (University Funds for Basic Research). Within the MADEC research program, one critical point has been the identification of a specific methodology able to integrate tailor-made materials during the design process, in order to create new scenarios of concepts material and product. So, the Design-driven Material Innovation Methodology arose to enhance new products innovation starting from a specific material and suggesting a method able to manage the entire design process. After a brief forward of the method theoretical premises, the paper will analyzes the seven steps (Data collection about materials, Sensing, Sensemaking, Envisioning, Specifying, Setting up, Placing) suggested by the method associated with a selection of case studies to help its comprehension.Actually the DdMIM is part of the Design for Enterprises, the winner project of the Tender Capabilities for Design-Driven Innovation in European SMEs funded by EASME (Executive Agency for SMEs-European Commission). D4E is a consortium estabilished between MIP- Politecnico di Milano, D’Appolonia and ADIPER and will be a three years long European training program in order to help SMEs to manage a design process for product and services innovation where different actors like materials scientists, suppliers, creative communities and consumers are getting engaged.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3243

Abstract:
This report details a study investigating the environmental impacts associated with the development and manufacturing of carbon nanotube (CNT)–based ink (called CNTRENE 1030 material) and novel CNT temperature, flex, and moisture sensors. Undertaken by a private-public partnership involving Brewer Science (Rolla, Missouri), Jordan Valley Innovation Center of Missouri State University (Springfield, Missouri), and the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (Vicksburg, Mississippi), this work demonstrates the environmental life cycle assessment (ELCA) methodology as a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the particular processes and materials posing the greatest environmental impact associated with the manufacture of the CNTRENE material and CNT-based sensor devices. Additionally, ELCA tracked the degree to which optimizing the device manufacturing process for full production also changed its predicted marginal environmental impacts.

Full text
Abstract:
The Seven Mile Island Innovation Laboratory (SMIIL) was launched in 2019 to evaluate beneficial use of dredge material management practices in coastal New Jersey. As part of that effort, the Philadelphia District requested that the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, collect data to characterize the hydrodynamics and turbidity within the central portions of the SMIIL prior to and during dredge material placement. Pre-dredge monitoring found that apart from punctuated wind events, the study area waters were generally calm and clear with small waves, <0.25 m, slow current speeds (~0.1 m/s), low turbidity (~10 ntus), and low suspended sediment concentrations (~10–20 mg/L). In March 2020, 2,475 m³ of dredged sediment was placed on the northern portion of Sturgeon Island within the SMIIL. Turbidity in the waters surrounding the island was monitored to quantify extent of the sediment plume resulting from the placement. Observations found little to no turbidity plume associated with the dredging operations beyond 20 m from the island and that the plume was largely limited to areas near a tidal creek draining the placement area. Additionally, turbidity levels quickly returned to background conditions at times when the dredge was not in operation.

Abstract:
Novel materials with unique or enhanced properties relative to conventional materials are being developed at an increasing rate. These materials are often referred to as advanced materials (AdMs) and they enable technological innovations that can benefit society. Despite their benefits, however, the unique characteristics of many AdMs, including many nanomaterials, are poorly understood and may pose environmental safety and occupational health (ESOH) risks that are not readily determined by traditional risk assessment methods. To assess these risks while keeping up with the pace of development, technology developers and risk assessors frequently employ risk-screening methods that depend on a clear definition for the materials that are to be assessed (e.g., engineered nanomaterial) as well as a method for binning materials into categories for ESOH risk prioritization. In this study, we aim to establish a practitioner-driven definition for AdMs and a practitioner-validated framework for categorizing AdMs into conceptual groupings based on material characteristics. The definition and categorization framework established here serve as a first step in determining if and when there is a need for specific ESOH and regulatory screening for an AdM as well as the type and extent of risk-related information that should be collected or generated for AdMs and AdM-enabled technologies.
