材料是我们整个国民经济的基础,也是高技术的基础。我国整个的科技界在世界上排第八位,而材料是第四,远高于平均水平,所以,在国际上,我国在材料方面还是占了较高地位的。但是,综合来讲,我国还处于材料大国的位置上,而非材料强国。怎样才能称得上是材料强国呢?目前,关于材料强国有多种不同的定义,我们可以借用《新材料产业》杂志指导委员会主任师昌绪院士曾经提出 Material is the basis of our entire national economy and the basis of high technology. China’s entire scientific and technological community ranked eighth in the world, and the material is the fourth, well above the average level. Therefore, at the international level, our country still occupies a higher position in materials. However, on the whole, our country is still in the position of a major material country, not a material power. At present, there are a variety of different definitions of material power. We can borrow the academician Shi Changxu who was the director of the Steering Committee of New Materials Industry
