Semiconductors are often described as the backbone of the interconnected world. They have been proven as critical at every stage of development in modern electronics and communications.

Ceramic coatings are a mature technology in the aerospace sector thanks to tandem improvements in both materials and processing capabilities. Technical ceramics can now be deposited as uniform coatings that supplement the underlying substrate. These plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings can offer dramatic

The push for cleaner skies and the rising cost of fuel is driving aerospace manufacturers to seek more efficient turbine engines. As combustion temperatures rise, efficiencies increase, and emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide fall as engines burn fuel more completely. Developing materials that can operate at these intense
