Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dermal drug delivery platform comprising: a primary wound dressing comprising three-dimensional polymer protuberances that extend upward from the dressing surface to engage the wound. The protuberances comprise at least one biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymer and medicinal nanoparticles. In one embodiment, the medicinal nanoparticles may be metallic and provide surface-area-enhanced galvanic action to drive medicinal ions into the wound bed. Various methods of making the disclosed dermal drug delivery platform, as well as three-dimensional methods of treating a wound using the platform are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart golf ball comprised of one or more mantle layers juxtaposed between an inner core and outer cover, where the core, the mantle layer(s), and/or the cover are further comprised of a ferrofluid, a magnetorheological fluid, an inverse magnetorheological fluid, and/or a magnetorheological elastomer, in any of its construction. These nano-engineered materials make possible a golf ball with heretofore-unprecedented levels of adaptive play.
