This paper reviews an overview concept on insulation in the combustion chamber for a conventional diesel engine and reducing its negative effects on engine performance and emission characteristics using emerging techniques. The main aim is to improve the engine performance and also to reduce the pollutants by using new emerging materials. Several studies have been conducted for various ceramics to increase the engine efficiencies and also decrease the pollutants in diesel engine mainly Particulate Matter (PM). Particulate Matter is one of the main pollutants in Diesel engine because of high sulphur content and it is a carcinogen, recently WHO (World Health Organisation) made a report that 70–80 % of cancers [1] are because of particulate matter. Added to this, another important advantage of ceramic insulation in an engine is the greatest reduction in friction losses due to easy warm up during starting and thus increase the brake power of an engine, simultaneously smoke is reduced at low speed. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the increase in engine performance and decrease in pollutant level at an extent shown by many researchers.
