With the intention of taking care of the environment and human health, the development of alternative eco-friendly methods to inhibit metal corrosion is intensively encouraged. In previous works we showed that some phytocompounds components of essential oils such as carvacrol (Carv) and thymol (TOH) are able to be electropolymerized on metals and they seem to be promissory for this purpose. The aim this paper is to investigate if the biocompatibility of copper covered by coatings formed by electropolymerization of Carv and TOH (polyCarv and polyTOH) is related with the potential selected for the electropolymerization process. Potentiostatic perturbations at different potentials, AFM images, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and measurements of copper ions release provided suitable information to make a detailed analysis of different stages of the electropolymerization process that leads to polyCarv and polyTOH layers on copper surface. The change of the characteristics of the coatings over time was evaluated after several polymerization periods and current transients were interpreted by using nucleation and growth models. Results showed interesting changes in the polymerization process with the electrochemical perturbation, nature of the isomer, and time of the treatment. The treatment that provides the most protective, transparent and homogeneous layer, that strongly increased the biocompatibility of Cu could be selected: electropolymerization of Carv at 0.4V. Results highlight the importance of the detailed study of the evolution of the electropolymerization processes to select the best ecofriendly condition due the high impact of potential perturbation and polarization time on the biocompatibility of the resulting polymeric layer-copper system.

“…Problems that arises when it is not properly done includes; repetitive alterations and modifications of drafted designs, prolonged developmental time and amplified cost of actualization (Tiwari et al, 2017). In order to arrive at robust design of a new product or engineering component, identification of design attributes and sub features viz a viz the numerous functional requirements from the customers or intended end users becomes the first task (Ayag and Ozdem, 2007;Brackea et al, 2017).…”

In this article, a novel hybridized Multi-Attribute Decision Model (MADM) is developed to identify an optimal design of a Reconfigurable Assembly Fixture (RAF) from a set of alternative design concepts. The model combines the comparative advantage of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the computational strength of the Fuzzy Weighted Average (FWA) based on left and right scores in order to obtain aggregates for the design alternatives considering the relative importance of the design criteria as needed in the optimal design. The model was applied to evaluate four design concepts of a RAF with six design features having numerous sub-features. Results obtained from the evaluation process shows that there are differences in final values of the design alternatives. However, a close variation exists between these values. These differences can be accrued to the interrelationships between the design features and sub-features obtained from the Fuzzy Synthetic Extent (FSE) of the FAHP and an unambiguity judgment of the FWA when aggregating availability of the design features and subfeatures in the design alternatives.

“…Ilgin et al [25] presented over 190 multi-criteria decision making studies in environmentally conscious manufacturing and product recovery. Bracke et al [26] introduced a concept, how to make eco-and sustainability-related decisions within the conceptual design phase of a subsequently product generation, and the decision concept is explained by an automotive engineering example. The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) was presented by Atanassov [31], which is the generalization of fuzzy set.…”

Faced with a fiercely competitive market environment, enterprises are investing huge resources, such as human resource, capital and material resources to research and develop new products. The product conceptual design determines the quality, cost and reliability of the final product and is considered to be the most important stage in the product life cycle. Considering the ambiguity of information in the product conceptual design process and the interactivity of experts in selecting conceptual products, a product conceptual design method based on intuitionistic fuzzy binary semantics group decision making is proposed, and a case is used to illustrate the proposed method.
