History: Nanotechnology in China ★ In the middle of 1980s, CAS and NSFC initiated support the development of SPM and other scientific issues at the nanometer scale ★ 1987-1995, National High Technology Plan(863) started Ultrafine Particles and Fine Ceramics item ★ 1990-1999, MOST approved the ‘Climbing up’ project and supported nanomaterial science for ten successive years ★ 1999, MOST started a national key basic research project (973) ‘Nanomaterial and Nanostructure’, to continually support the basic research on nanomaterials, such as nanotubes . ★2002, the National High Technology Plan(863) also established a series of projects for nanomaterial and device applications. ★ From 1987, some public funds have also contributed to industrialization of nanomaterials.
