  Enhancement of Electrical Conductivity of Laterite Derived Ferric Oxide to Facilitate As Anode Materials

  By W.M. J.M. Madhuhansi, E. N. Jayaweera, P.G. D.C.K. Karunarathna, P. Samarasekara

  Abstract: Laterite is a mineral abundant in ferric oxide and various impurities, including aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide. The extraction of ferric oxide from laterite is accomplished through a cost-effective leaching process employing HCl, NaOH, and Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Characterization using Xray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the synthesized particles to be α-Hematite nano particles, with an average particle size of 94.21 nm, predominantly falling within the range of 90 nm to …

  Self-Healing Polymeric Composites Reinforced with Green Synthesized Nanoparticles

  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 …
