The Industrial Revolution would introduce into the field of ceramics radical and ceaseless changes during the entire 20 centuiy, in the modes of preparation, manufacture, decorations, coloring and firing and especially with the use of the electric power, advances in chemistiy and material sciences. New applications that take advantage of the resistance of the material to thermal shocks (insulators, heat shields, etc.) as well as the inalterability and harmlessness of bioceramics would be implemented.
