Self-Healing Polymeric Composites Reinforced with Green Synthesized Nanoparticles
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 …

Anti-Microbial Potential of Onion Peel Extracts
Abstract: Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a source of bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids such as quercetin, and possesses antioxidant and beneficial properties to health. Onion skin, which is normally considered as waste, has more of these compounds compared to the edible portion. This research sought to isolate and analyze the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of onion skin with ethanol and hexane using Soxhlet and column chromatography techniques. Antioxidant activity was maximum …

The Impact of Extraction Conditions on the Trend of the Type of Red Onion and the Characteristics of Oil Harvest for the Use of Constraints
Abstract: The therapeutic potential of plant-derived medicinal products, including essential oils, has not yet been fully exploited. Many medicinal plants have been studied to provide the biologically active compounds on which most modern drugs are based. However, much more remains to be learned about their precise pharmacology. This is particularly important for essential oils which have such a concentrated but complex composition. This is the reason for the interest they generate …
