Abstract
The effects of heat on materials have fascinated and benefited humanity since the very earliest times. Even the observation of fires and the burning process was both a pleasurable, and if uncontrolled, painful experience. The use of fire to cook foods, and of ice to preserve foods, probably contributed greatly to the settlement and welfare of early peoples and cooking was perhaps the very first ‘chemical experiment’. The production of both organic and inorganic pigments by heating natural materials allowed the decorative arts to develop [1].
