Abstract

In this paper, the concept of sustainability was applied to mechanical design and manufacturing of mobile-phone case. A new evaluation method to find products' good and weak point for sustainability was developed. Two mobile phones were evaluated using the evaluation tool. As a result, electro-magnetic (EM) wave was considered as a harmful factor of the products, and improved front panel was made using nano particles that absorb EM waves. The EM shielding tests revealed that silver nano powders absorbed EM while MWCNT had no effect.
