produced CMCs and MMCs' environmental aspects. By examining these features, the research aims to contribute to the development of novel approaches that yield more efficient, costeffective, and environmentally friendly composite materials. Recycling, the reuse of materials, and the transformation of various wastes into new products, are vital industrial-scale and socially accepted approaches to protecting the circular economy and the environment. Fu et al. systematically investigated the utilization of ceramic polishing slag for the production of porous ceramics to determine the effect of holding time on the pore structure of the produced porous ceramics with a high polished slag ratio (60%). The pore structure of the designed samples was investigated using a combination of SEM and X-CT. The final properties of the produced porous ceramics are discussed in detail. As a result of the conducted experimental studies, Fu et al. determined that the optimal properties were achieved at a holding time of 30 min, resulting in a volume density of 0.68 g/cm³, a water absorption of 27.33%, an apparent porosity of 15.49%, and a compressive strength of 13.07 MPa. SiCf/SiC ceramic matrix composites via femtosecond laser processing. Both numerical analysis and experimental verification studies were conducted to ensure a thorough understanding of the performance of the designed coatings in challenging thermal conditions. Jing et al. reported that the developed surface textures significantly influence the anti-thermal-shock properties of the designed abradable coatings by enhancing the contact area and optimizing the interface stress distribution.Mineral resources, such as high-quality quartz, clay, and feldspar, have been used in the ceramic industry in large amounts for a considerable time. Owing to the high volume consumption of these minerals, many sources are approaching exhaustion. Therefore, it is important to ensure the effective use of waste materials in ceramic products. Clay-based ceramic products, such as porcelain, are potential candidate systems to ensure the effective use of waste materials in ceramic products. Generally, commercial siliceous porcelain insulators contain a high amount of clay (40-50%), feldspar (35-45%), and quartz (10-15%). Rodríguez et al. investigated the effect of substituting traditional binary raw materials (quartz and feldspar) with waste porcelain chamotte in siliceous electro-technical porcelain to manufacture eco-friendly high-voltage porcelain insulators. After characterizing the produced samples, it was determined that using porcelain chamotte in a siliceous electro-technical porcelain composition has been favorable, with outstanding properties.
