This paper formulates and studies two different problems occurring in the formation and use of pharmaceuticals via controlled release methods. These problems involve a glassy polymer and a penetrant, and the central problem is to predict and control the diffusive behavior of the penetrant through the polymer. The mathematical theory yields free boundary problems which are studied in various asymptotic regimes.
