Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are among the most striking discoveries in the search for new materials as drug delivery carrier. In the present work, multiwalled CNT (MWCNT) functionalized with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was developed as a potential carrier for Curcumin (Cur). The aim was to investigate its lo...
