  By Piyali Roy Choudhury, Sandeep P. Shewale, Arun Kumar M., Kavya N.

  Abstract: The development of sustainable self-healing polymeric materials is critical for enhancing durability and service life in advanced engineering applications. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO), magnesium oxide (MgO), and ferric oxide (Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles were green-synthesized using Allium cepa extract and incorporated into epoxy-based polymeric composites to improve mechanical, thermal, and self-healing properties. This bio-based synthesis is eco-friendly and safe alternative to harsh chemical techniques, utilizing natural antioxidants to stabilize the …
