Graphical Abstract
Small capsules: Nanoscale silica capsules can be synthesized by the oxidation of nanoscale bubbles in the poly(dimethylsiloxane) domains of poly(styrene-b-dimethylsiloxane). These nanobubbles are introduced by a process involving supercritical carbon dioxide. The nanocapsules are opened up after dry etching (see AFM image).
