This invention describes novel methods for fabricating nano/micro particles and capsules through template decomposition which incorporates the to-be-encapsulated molecules which are precipitated in pores of particles or in solution, i.e. below their isoelectric point, drying or by solvent adjustment methods. The encapsulation process can be followed by a deposition or adsorption of a protective shell that regulates release of the encapsulated material. The encapsulation, inclusion, manipulation, and release of various materials and bio-materials is to be conducted by delivery vehicles which are particles and capsules with sizes in the range of nanometers and micrometers. They can possess multicompartment and anisotropic geometries and can carry one or several types of various molecules. This invention can potentially be used for controlled delivery, manipulation, and release in a variety of applications requiring delivery vehicles such as cell cultures, in-vivo, subcutaneous incorporation, injection, spray-inhalation and planar surfaces, films, and stents.
