Background
The use of a solution precursor was first reported as a coating technology by Karthikeyan, et al. In that work, Karthikeyan showed that the use of a solution precursor was in fact feasible, however, well adhered coatings could not be generated. Further work was reported in 2001 which refined the process to produce thermal barrier coatings, YAG films, and silicon ceramic coatings. Since then, extensive research on the technology has been explored in large part by the University of Connecticut and Inframat Corporation.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background.
