Three case studies describe examples of fastening and joining that facilitate assembly and recycling but impede remanufacturing. To illustrate the impact of fastening choices on remanufacture relative to other life-cycle concerns, the development of a computer tool that estimates the effects of fastening and joining choices on manufacture, assembly, maintenance, remanufacture and recycling is in progress. The current implementation of the tool is described and used to compare the fastening methods that are used in the case studies with alternative fastening methods. These comparisons suggest that elements of fastening methods that are prone to failure be made separable from the remainder of the part.","PeriodicalId":338075,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1995 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment ISEE (Cat.

It can aid life cycle analysis by providing a comprehensive framework for analyzing environmental costs, thereby eliminating the ad hoc boundary assumptions required in conventional life cycle analysis. We illustrate use of the EIO method with applications to electronics manufacture, including Household Refrigerators and Freezers (SIG 3632), Computers and Office Equipment (SIG 357), and Household Audio and Video Equipment (SIG 3651). The EIO provides an estimate of all direct and indirect pollution discharges associated with manufacture of these products. Our EIO model is based upon the Department of Commerce 480/spl times/480 commodity sector data and a variety of environmental impact indices, including the toxic release inventory (TRI) and energy use.","PeriodicalId":338075,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1995 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment ISEE (Cat.

Electrically conducting adhesive technology is one of the alternatives being actively considered in this context. The most common conductive adhesive used today is an epoxy resin filled with fine silver particles. Silver particles provide electrical conduction, while epoxy provides adhesive bonding of the components to a substrate. This material has several limitations such as low electrical conductivity, low joint strength, increase in contact resistance upon thermal cycling, and silver migration. In order to overcome these limitations, a new formulation is proposed based on alternative Pb-free conducting filler powders and tailored polymer resins. This new material provides a metallurgical bonding as well as polymer adhesive bonding leading to an increase in joint strength and in electrical conductivity. Several potential applications of these adhesive materials such as glass-to-board connection in LCD packaging, SMT package assembly to PCB, and direct chip attachment to a high density card are discussed.","PeriodicalId":338075,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1995 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment ISEE (Cat.
