Resumo

CHEMICAL ELEMENT FOR BRAZIL.Niobium, in fact, is an essential element for Brazil.Their applications are so many and so special that they put it as one of the subjects treated by the wikiLeaks site as strategic and that it should be treated in the USA.It is one of the elements most exported by Brazil and is mainly used in the production of special alloys for use in gas pipelines, air turbines, among other applications.It is believed that niobium-based materials can be obtained for applications with higher added value and in equally strategic areas.Research to obtain active and selective drugs, materials to maximize the use of renewable energy, and new nanostructured materials to improve the performance of different components are ongoing and promise a revolution for the next few years.
