National de la Recherche Scientifique. The OECD published a report on advanced materials in 1990, while NATO and the EC supported research programs such as the Brite-Euram Programme on Industrial and Material Technologies. So great is the public concern with materials that the phrase age of materials has often been used to characterize our epoch in journals and magazines.
