High-loading incorporation
Find robust carrier/niobium combinations that remain cohesive and processable as inorganic loading increases.
Development partners
Build the evidence with us.
PoliNb⁴¹ is being developed through a partner ecosystem: niobium materials, polymer-carrier technology, laboratory processing, independent validation and industrial-scale capabilities working together around clear technical gates.

PoliNb⁴¹ is not being built in isolation.
Its development already connects niobium expertise, a structural polymer carrier and an expanding industrial network.

Foundational development ecosystem
Two relationships already anchor the current development path.
CBMM brings the niobium-material dimension. Therpol / Proquitec brings the structural polymer carrier and laboratory-processing environment. PoliNb⁴¹ integrates these layers into one protected development platform.

CBMM
Samples + technical dialogue
CBMM
Niobium technology & material-development interface
Since the beginning of the project, CBMM has supported the PoliNb⁴¹ development journey by making selected niobium samples available to EVABIO and maintaining an ongoing technical and institutional dialogue around the opportunity to expand niobium into polymer systems.
The current program includes the evaluation of multiple niobium material options in controlled polymer-processing studies, providing the inorganic phase required to investigate incorporation, loading limits, material form and future transfer into host polymers.
Publicly describable role
- Supply / availability of selected niobium materials for development and testing.
- Technical interface around the evaluation of niobium in polymer applications.
- Ongoing institutional dialogue as the platform progresses through staged validation.
- Receipt and evaluation of a broader PoliNb⁴¹ development proposal that extends from technical validation toward a future pilot development facility.
Status boundary:
the pilot-facility concept is a proposal under evaluation. This page does not state or imply that CBMM has committed
to finance, build, own or operate a PoliNb⁴¹ pilot facility unless and until such commitment is formally documented.
Structural base + processing support
Therpol® / Proquitec
Structural polymer carrier & current process-development partner
In the current PoliNb⁴¹ architecture, Therpol® is the structural polymer base that makes the niobium-in-polymer delivery concept technically actionable. It provides the organic phase in which the selected niobium material is incorporated before subsequent thermoplastic processing. Without this carrier architecture, the current development route would not be technically viable in its present form.
Therpol / Proquitec is supporting the current discovery stage with access to polymer expertise, candidate Therpol systems and laboratory processing using an internal mixer / Banbury-Kneader route to evaluate controlled incorporation and define the next development window.
Publicly describable role
- Structural polymer-carrier technology for the current PoliNb⁴¹ development architecture.
- Access to Therpol formulation expertise and candidate carrier systems.
- Laboratory processing support for the Discovery & MCL stage.
- Development pathway toward a dedicated Therpol® Nb41 intermediate, subject to technical validation and IP controls.
Technical boundary:
exact carrier selection, formulation architecture, loading windows, mixing conditions and the final Therpol® Nb41
design remain under development and may be confidential or patent-sensitive.
