Synthesis of shape- and chemically-anisotropic nano-emulsion-laden microgels is reported by P. S. Doyle and co-workers on page 3838. The particles are capable of encapsulation and release of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic species using multiple orthogonal methods from a single particle, enabling new hierarchical strategies for controlled storage and delivery of small molecules and bioactives.
