A Short History of the development of nanotechnology纳米发展小史In 1959, the famous physicist, Nobel laureates Richard. Feynman predicted that human beings can use small machines to produce smaller machines, according to the final realization of the wishes of the human order-by-atom, to create products that this is the first on the dream of 年,著名物理学家、诺贝尔奖获得者理查德。费曼预言,人类可以用小的机器制作更小的机器,最后实现根据人类意愿逐个排列原子、制造产品,这是关于纳米科技最早的梦想。In 1991, American scientists successfully synthesized carbon nanotubes, and found that it was only with the quality of the volume of steel 1 / 6, the intensity is 10 times that of steel, so called super fiber. The nano-materials found signs of human To explore the properties of the material has reached a new height. In 1999, nanotechnology products to achieve an annual turnover of 50,000,000,000 . dollars1991年,美国科学家成功地合成了碳纳米管,并发现其质量仅为同体积钢的1/6,强度却是钢的10倍,因此称之为超级纤维.这一纳米材料的发现标志人类对材料性能的发掘达到了新的高度。1999年,纳米产品的年营业额达到500亿美元What is a nano-materials什么是纳米材料Nanometer (nm) is the length of the unit, a nanometer is 10-9 meters (a billionth of a meter), the macro-material, the nano is a small unit, not as human hair in diameter for the general 7000 -- 8000nm, the diameter of human red blood cells normally 3000-5000nm, the general diameter of the virus are also a few dozen to several hundred nano-size, metal grain size generally Submicron order of magnitude; for microscopic material, such as atoms, molecules, such as before with Egypt to Said an Egyptian equivalent to a hydrogen atom's diameter, a nanometer is 10 Egypt纳米(nm)是长度单位,1纳米是10-9米(十亿分之一米),对宏观物质来说,纳米是一个很小的单位,不如,人的头发丝的直径一般为7000-8000nm,人体红细胞的直径一般为3000-5000nm,一般病毒的直径也在几十至几百纳米大小,金属的晶粒尺寸一般在微米量级;对于微观物质如原子、分子等以前用埃来表示,1埃相当于1个氢原子的直径,1纳米是10埃It is generally believed nanomaterials should include two basic conditions: First, the material characteristics of the 1-100nm in size between the two materials at this time is different from conventional size materials have some special physical and chemical properties.一般认为纳米材料应该包括两个基本条件:一是材料的特征尺寸在1-100nm之间,二是材料此时具有区别常规尺寸材料的一些特殊物理化学特性。
