Abstract: The invention concerns methods for the selective, topical or trans dermal delivery or removal of one or more substances to, or from, respectively, the skin or surface of a human or animal subject, via the topical or transdermal application of a porous, polymeric composition capable of releasing or sorbing (adsorbing and/or absorbing) said substances, wherein said porous polymer is a particulate material, with particles having an average diameter in the range of approximately 0.1 microns to approximately 0.5 centimeters, and having a plurality of pores with an average pore diameter in a range of approximately 50 Angstroms to approximately 40,000 Angstroms.

Abstract: Embodiments of an implant that is configured with materials to prevent degradation or corrosion. The implant can comprise an elongate body and a degradation-delaying element disposed thereon, where the degradation-delaying element can be configured to reduce or retard corrosion of the elongate body.
