CBMM has identified a potential application synergy with graphene – since the bidimensional material can be used in areas common to Niobium, such as in the automotive industry (including batteries for electric vehicles), construction and infrastructure, electric/electronic applications, among others.
Thanks to decades of investments in its Niobium processing and application technology program, CBMM has become the world market leader and its history is directly linked to this metal’s development. And it is with this experience that the Company has begun to explore synergistic opportunities with Niobium, its core material product base.
2DM is a spin-off from the National University of Singapore, which is the main research center for graphene in Asia. The versatile potential of such material, derived from graphite, has been discussed over the years and its advantages as an industrial additive to improve structural properties have stood out among advanced materials. Protagonist among the 2D materials, graphene has been recognized for its features as electricity conductor, thermal properties, strength and lightweight, among other characteristics that place it as one of the most promising materials for the following decade.
With this partnership, CBMM’s main goal is to take advantage of all the possible synergies between graphene and Niobium to increase solutions for its customers. The Company believes that it can contribute through its recognized capabilities in the development of materials and application technologies, market expansion and in the development of customers with global presence.
