Composites may be identified and classified many hundreds of ways. There are aggregate-cement matrix (concrete), aluminum film-plastic matrix, asbestos fiber-concrete matrix, carbon-carbon matrix, carbon fiber-carbon matrix, cellulose fiber-lignin/silicic matrix, ceramic fiber-matrix ceramic (CMC), ceramic fiber-metal matrix, ceramic-metal matrix (cermet), concrete-plastic matrix, fibrous-ceramic matrix, fibrous-metal matrix, fibrous-plastic matrix, flexible reinforced plastic, glass ceramic-amorphous glass matrix, laminar-layers of different metals, laminar-layer of glass-plastic (safety glass), laminar-layer of reinforced plastic, laminar-layers of unreinforced plastic.

The use of fibre reinforcement in silicate glass and glass-ceramic matrices started at the end of the decade after 1960 [1, 2]. A great variety of composite systems has been developed since then employing numerous matrix compositions and many types of ceramic... 

A great variety of silicate matrices has been considered for the fabrication of fibre-reinforced glass and glass-ceramic matrix composites [4-6,29-31]. Typical matrices investigated are listed in Table 1. Table 2 gives an overview of different composite systems developed and some of the most remarkable properties achieved.

Several sintered glass and glass-ceramic matrix composites obtained from recycled silicate waste have been reported in the literature [100-106]. These are dense or porous products with potential application as building, decoration or architectural materials, such as wall partition blocks, pavements, wall and floor tiles, thermal insulation, fire protection elements, roofing granules and acoustic tiles. Other possible uses include abrasive media for blasting and polishing applications.
