Abstract Curcumin is a natural active principle with antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its use is limited by a low water solubility and fast degradation rate, which hinder its bioavailability. To overcome this problem, curcumin can be delivered through a carrier, which protects the drug molecule and enhances its pharmacological effects. The present work proposes a simple one-pot sol–gel synthesis to obtain a hybrid carrier for curcumin delivery. The hybrid consists of a mesostructured matrix of amorphous silica, which stabilizes the carrier, and hexadecyltrimethylammonium (CTA), a surfactant where curcumin is dissolved to increase its water solubility. The carrier was characterized in terms of morphology (FESEM), physicochemical properties (XRD, FTIR, UV spectroscopy) and release capability in pseudo-physiological solutions. Results show that curcumin molecules were entrapped, for the first time, in a silica-surfactant mesostructured hybrid carrier. The hybrid carrier successfully released curcumin in artificial sweat and in a phosphate buffer saline solution, so confirming its efficacy in increasing curcumin water solubility. The proposed drug release mechanism relies on the degradation of the carrier, which involves the concurrent release of silicon. This suggests strong potentialities for topical administration applications, since curcumin is effective against many dermal diseases while silicon is beneficial to the skin.

The existence of dye effluent in environmental water bodies is becoming a growing concern to environmentalists and civilians due to negative health effects. In this study, a novel poly(acrylonitrile)-membrane-supported carbon-doped titanium dioxide–coal fly ash nanocomposite (C-TiO2-CFA/PAN) was prepared and evaluated in the removal of textiles dyes (methyl orange and golden yellow) in water. The C-TiO2-CFA nanocomposite was prepared via sol-gel synthesis and immobilized on PAN membrane prepared via phase inversion technique. The photocatalyst was characterized by FTIR, XRD, BET surface area analysis, SEM, EDX, and DRS. FTIR analysis confirmed the existence of the expected functional groups, and XRD revealed that the C-TiO2 was predominantly in the anatase phase, which exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The optimum C-TiO2-CFA photocatalyst load on the PAN membrane was 2% w/w, and it achieved degradation efficiencies of 99.86% and 99.20% for MO and GY dyes, respectively, at pH 3.5, using a dye concentration of 10 ppm, under sunlight irradiation, in 300 min. The novel 2% C-TiO2-CFA/PAN photocatalytic membrane proved to be very effective in the removal of textile dyes’ water. Three reusability cycles were carried out, and no significant changes were observed in the photocatalytic efficiencies. Immobilization on PAN membrane allowed easy recovery and reuse of the photocatalyst.

The titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowders were produced by sol-gel technique from tetrabutyl titanate as a precursor by varying some parameters of the sol-gel synthesis like the temperature (500 and 550 ?C) and the duration of the calcination (1.5, 2, and 2.5 h). X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) results have shown that all synthesized nanopowders are dominantly in anatase phase, with the presence of a small amount of rutile in samples calcined at 550 ?C. According to the results obtained by Williamson-Hall method, the anatase crystallite size was increased with the duration of the calcination (from 24 to 29 nm in samples calcined at lower, and from 30 to 35 nm in samples calcined at higher temperature). The analysis of the shift and linewidth of the most intensive anatase Eg Raman mode confirmed the XRPD results. The analysis of pore structure from nitrogen sorption experimental data described all samples as mesoporous, with mean pore diameters in the range of 5-8 nm. Nanopowder properties have been related to the photocatalytic activity, tested in degradation of the textile dye (C.I. Reactive Orange 16), carbofuran and phenol.
