These environmental issues, created a dire need for the development of green polymeric materials, which would not involve the use of toxic and noxious component in their manufacture and could be degradable in nature. For these reasons, through the world today, the development of biodegradable materials with controlled properties has been a subject of great research challenge for the community of material scientists and engineers. 

Oxidation is only one of several environmental problems that face ceramic matrix composites. For example, in combustor environments, which represent some of the most severe applications, vaporization and reactions which produce volatile products are also major degradation routes for ceramic composites. These processes can occur by hydrogen reduction, by reaction with water vapor, or by simple vaporization. Furthermore, some of the most oxidation-resistant ceramics, such as Si02 and A1203, are susceptible to these types of vaporization reactions. Fortunately, it is possible to take advantage of some of the intrinsic properties of ceramics to intelligently allow for the types of severe service environments such as combustion engines.
