Nanoporous oxide coatings, such as anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), are utilized as drug-release platforms for up to weeks of delivery (see picture for doxorubicin, Dox). A burst-release phase is followed by sustained release, the kinetics of which is described by an activated surface-density-dependent desorption model.
