"Materials are at the core of our societies and of our economies. They are part of pressing environmental challenges but they also provide powerful answers. It is therefore no longer possible to think of materials from the restricted standpoint of Materials and Engineering Sciences and this book proposes a more holistic vision of their connection with the Environment and with Society. The book is meant for students, researchers, engineers, and concerned citizens interested in how materials, nature and people interact: at the level of raw materials and energy resources, of innovation and emergence of new materials functions, of historical continuity with materials of the past, and of emissions to air, water and soil and thus in connection also with health and toxicology issues, climate change and collapse of biodiversity. The book examines how materials relate to society with complex metrics, but also, more deeply, how they generate eco-social services, and, finally, have agency along with the people who use them and invent them (Actor Network Theory). This book is unique in its approach across so many fields. There are many excellent treatises on materials science and more on industrial ecology. However, the connection with the social dimension of sustainability is still rarely discussed and the pluridisciplinary cocktail of approaches used here is truly new"

Deux Symposiums internationaux ont eu lieu, à Graz en octobre 1998 et à Joensuu en septembre 1999 sur le thème du développement régional durable, avec le soutien de la Commission européenne sous les présidences européennes respectives de l'Autriche et de la Finlande. Ce troisième Symposium organisé sur le thème "Recherche et Développement Régional Durable" visait à mettre en relation les acteurs du développement régional et les chercheurs, en insistant sur la spécificité de l'échelon régional dans les questions de développement durable et sur la coopération nécessaire entre les différentes disciplines de recherche concernées, mais aussi entre chercheurs et acteurs du développement durable. Le symposium a été une occasion de présenter les résultats des projets de recherche financés dans le cadre du 4ème et du 5ème Programme Cadre européen. Mais aussi les résultats d'expériences pilotes, notamment les expériences de promotion du développement durable au travers des Fonds structurels européens, ou les projets concernant la gestion intégrée des zones côtières. Two European Symposium have taken place, in Graz in October 1998 and in Joensuu in September 1999 on the subject of sustainable regional development. The Symposium were supported by the European Commission and the respective Austrian and Finnish Presidencies. The Third Symposium "Regions-Cornerstones for Sustainable Development" will draw upon the results obtained previously, bringing together key-actors of regional development and researchers. A special focus will be put on the specificity of the regional level in relation to sustainable development issues, and on the necessary cooperation among research fields and disciplines, as well as between researchers and the actors of regional development The symposium was the occasion to present the results of the projects pursued under the 4th and 5th European Framework Programmes for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration and the results from pilot…

The 21st century offers vast challenges for researchers all around the globe, especially regarding the effective use of eco-friendly sustainable polymers and their materials for different applications. With this focus, sustainable polymers are now rising as one of the most feasible alternatives to traditional synthetic polymers/materials for a variety of industrial uses. Sustainable polymers from different biorenewable resources are rapidly emerging as one of the key components in multifunctional applications in most of the advanced research being carried out over the globe. This book is an archival reference for researchers and students working in the field of sustainable polymers and their applications in industry. It focuses on the processing and applications of diverse sustainable polymers procured from different biorenewable resources that have been rarely reported so far in a single book. Each chapter significantly addresses different aspects of sustainable polymers obtained from natural resources and discusses different processing techniques and possible applications. The book brings together highly accomplished experts in the field of sustainable polymers.
