Curcumin, 1,7-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6- heptadiene-2,5-dione is a yellow coloured principle phenolic pigment obtained from turmeric, the powdered rhizome of Curcuma longa Linn. (Family: Zingiberaceae). It has effective therapeutic properties not only as an anti-inflammatory drug, but also as a chemo-preventive, chemotherapeutic, antioxidant. One of the most important factors considered to be responsible for all the activity of curcumin is its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen and nitrogen free radicals. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano particles are prepared. It is characterized by XRD, FTIR, TEM and Raman spectroscopy methods. TiO2/ PVA/sodium alginate nano composite was prepared by gel casting method. Curcumin was incorporated in the gel. This nano composite was characterized by SEM and FTIR. Our results suggest that this could be an ideal biomaterial for wound dressing applications.
