Abstract
Multifunctional nanocarriers enhance the treatment efficacy for modern therapeutics and have gained increasing importance in biomedical research. Codelivery of multiple bioactive molecules enables synergistic therapies. Coencapsulation of cargo molecules into one nanocarrier system is challenging due to different physicochemical properties of the cargo molecules. Additionally, coencapsulation of multiple molecules simultaneously shall proceed with high control and efficiency. Orthogonal approaches for the preparation of nanocarriers are essential to encapsulate sensitive bioactive molecules while preserving their bioactivity. Preparation of nanocarriers by physical processes (i.e., self-assembly or coacervation) and chemical reactions (i.e., click reactions, polymerizations, etc.) are considered as orthogonal methods to most cargo molecules. This review shall act as a guideline to allow the reader to select a suitable preparation protocol for a desired nanocarrier system. This article helps to select for combinations of cargo molecules (hydrophilic-hydrophobic, small-macro, organic-inorganic) with nanocarrier material and synthesis protocols. The focus of this article lies on the coencapsulation of multiple cargo molecules into biocompatible and biodegradable nanocarriers prepared by orthogonal strategies. With this toolbox, the selection of a preparation method for a known set of cargo molecules to prepare the desired biodegradable and loaded nanocarrier shall be provided.

Abstract
Optoacoustic (OA, photoacoustic) imaging synergistically combines rich optical contrast with the resolution of ultrasound within light-scattering biological tissues. Contrast agents have become essential to boost deep-tissue OA sensitivity and fully exploit the capabilities of state-of-the-art OA imaging systems, thus facilitating the clinical translation of this modality. Inorganic particles with sizes of several microns can also be individually localized and tracked, thus enabling new applications in drug delivery, microrobotics, or super-resolution imaging. However, significant concerns have been raised regarding the low bio-degradability and potential toxic effects of inorganic particles. Bio-based, biodegradable nano- and microcapsules consisting of an aqueous core with clinically-approved indocyanine green (ICG) and a cross-linked casein shell obtained in an inverse emulsion approach are introduced. The feasibility to provide contrast-enhanced in vivo OA imaging with nanocapsules as well as localizing and tracking individual larger microcapsules of 4-5 µm is demonstrated. All components of the developed capsules are safe for human use and the inverse emulsion approach is known to be compatible with a variety of shell materials and payloads. Hence, the enhanced OA imaging performance can be exploited in multiple biomedical studies and can open a route to clinical approval of agents detectable at a single-particle level.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions are kinetically stabilized emulsions with droplet sizes in the nanometer scale. These nanodroplets are able to confine spaces in which reactions of polymerization or precipitation can take place, leading to the formation of particles and capsules that can act as nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review discusses the different possibilities of using nanoemulsions for preparing biomedical nanocarriers. According to the chemical nature, nanocarriers prepared in nanoemulsions are classified in polymeric, inorganic, or hybrid. The main synthetic strategies for each type are revised, including miniemulsion polymerization, nanoemulsion-solvent evaporation, spontaneous emulsification, sol-gel processes, and combination of different techniques to form multicomponent materials.

Abstract
Natural polymer-based hybrid nanocomposites have been proposed as one of the most promising tools for biomedical applications, including disease treatment and diagnosis procedures. Xyloglucan nanocapsules can simultaneously load magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and bioactive for a specific tissue, reducing the processes of degradation and metabolic inactivation of molecules with biological activity. In this work, magnetic nanocapsules of xyloglucan loaded with hydrophilic sulfated quercetin (MNXQ_SO3) were successfully synthesized by inverse miniemulsion process through interfacial polymerization. The polymeric shell formation of nanocapsules was evidenced by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy. The ferrofluid (Fe3O4@PAAS) incorporated into the xyloglucan nanocapsules was synthesized by hydrothermal method, using polyacrylic acid sodium salt as coating. Dynamic Light Scattering technique confirmed the nanomeric dimensions (202.3 nm) and the good colloidal stability (-40.2 mV) of MNXQ_SO3. The saturation magnetization analyses pointed out the superparamagnetic behavior of Fe3O4@PAAS (48 emu/g) and MNXQ_SO3 (4.2 emu/g). MNXQ_SO3 was able to modify the release profile of sulfated quercetin (67%) when compared to the free bioactive (100%), exhibiting a release profile compatible with the zero-order kinetic model. The results showed that the development of MNXQ_SO3 presents a new perspective for biomedical applications, including studies of targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of carbohydrate and glycodendron structures for dendritic cell targeting, which were subsequently bound to hydroxyethyl starch (HES) nanocapsules prepared by the inverse miniemulsion technique. The uptake of the carbohydrate-functionalized HES nanocapsules into immature human dendritic cells (hDCs) revealed a strong dependence on the used carbohydrate. A multivalent mannose-terminated dendron was found to be far superior in uptake compared to the structurally more complex oligosaccharides used.

Abstract
Zwitterionic cross-linked biodegradable nanocapsules (NCs) were synthesized for cancer imaging. A polylactide (PLA)-based diblock copolymer with two blocks carrying acetylenyl and allyl groups respectively was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Azide-alkyne "click" reaction was conducted to conjugate sulfobetaine (SB) zwitterions and fluorescent dye Cy5.5 onto the acetylenyl-functionalized first block of the diblock copolymer. The resulting copolymer with a hydrophilic SB/Cy5.5-functionalized PLA block and a hydrophobic allyl-functionalized PLA block could stabilize miniemulsions because of its amphiphilic diblock structure. UV-induced thiol-ene "click" reaction between a dithiol cross-linker and the hydrophobic allyl-functionalized block of the copolymer at the peripheral region of nanoscopic oil nanodroplets in the miniemulsion generated cross-linked polymer NCs with zwitterionic outer shells. These NCs showed an average hydrodynamic diameter ( Dh) of 136 nm. They exhibited biodegradability, biocompatibility and high colloidal stability. In vitro study indicated that these NCs could be taken up by MIA PaCa-2 cancer cells. In vivo imaging study showed that, comparing to a small molecule dye, NCs had a longer circulation time, facilitating their accumulation at tumors for cancer imaging. Overall, this work demonstrates the applicability of zwitterionic biodegradable polymer-based materials in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Microcapsules with specific functional properties, related to the capsule wall and core, are highly desired in a number of applications. In this study, hybrid cellulose microcapsules (1.2 ± 0.4 µm in diameter) were prepared by nanoengineering the outer walls of precursor capsules. Depending on the preparation route, capsules with different surface roughness (raspberry or broccoli-like), and thereby different wetting properties, could be obtained. The tunable surface roughness was achieved as a result of the chemical and structural properties of the outer wall of a precursor capsule, which combined with a new processing route allowed in-situ formation of silica nanoparticles (30–40 nm or 70 nm in diameter). By coating glass slides with “broccoli-like” microcapsules (30–40 nm silica nanoparticles), static contact angles above 150° and roll-off angles below 6° were obtained for both water and low surface-tension oil (hexadecane), rendering the substrate superamphiphobic. As a comparison, coatings from raspberry-like capsules were only strongly oleophobic and hydrophobic. The liquid-core of the capsules opens great opportunities to incorporate different functionalities and here hydrophobic superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs) were encapsulated. As a result, magnetic broccoli-like microcapsules formed an excellent superamphiphobic coating-layer on a curved geometry by simply applying an external magnetic field.

Abstract
Water-soluble organic dyes such as fluorescein are widely used, mainly for coloration of, e.g., biological samples and groundwater tracing, and they are not obviously amphiphilic by molecular structure like surfactants. Here, we show that the dyes alone stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. Exemplarily, fluorescein is compared with the classical surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by means of surface/interfacial tension, concentration of stabilizer and electrolyte, as well as pH. The principle can be extended to further classes of water-soluble dyes, which keep up with or exceed SDS by efficiency. Various organic liquids of different polarities can be employed and be polymerized in the case of styrene as disperse phase. Thus, surfactant free latex solely stabilized by water-soluble dyes is accessible. The emulsions can be destabilized by absorption of the dyes to hydrogels, and their complete removal is easily followed visually. The stabilization mechanisms are different for SDS and the dyes: The latter stabilize droplets not as monomers but by their aggregates as molecular scale Pickering stabilizers, which is a new concept of stabilization.

Abstract
Drug targeting to the colon via the oral administration route for local treatment of e.g. inflammatory bowel disease and colonic cancer has several advantages such as needle-free administration and low infection risk. A new source for delivery is plant-polysaccharide based delivery platforms such as Rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I). In the gastro-intestinal tract the RG-I is only degraded by the action of the colonic microflora. For assessment of potential drug delivery properties, RG-I based microcapsules (~1 μm in diameter) were prepared by an interfacial poly-addition reaction. The cross-linked capsules were loaded with a fluorescent dye (model drug). The capsules showed negligible and very little in vitro release when subjected to media simulating gastric and intestinal fluids, respectively. However, upon exposure to a cocktail of commercial RG-I cleaving enzymes, ~ 9 times higher release was observed, demonstrating that the capsules can be opened by enzymatic degradation. The combined results suggest a potential platform for targeted drug delivery in the terminal gastro-intestinal tract.

Polymeric hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 5A nanocapsules induce intrahepatic antigen-specific immune responses. Biomaterials 2016; 108:1-12.

Abstract
Targeting antigen combined with adjuvants to hepatic antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is essential for the induction of intrahepatic T cellular immunity controlling and resolving viral infections of the liver. Intravenous injection of antigen-loaded nanoparticles is a promising approach for the delivery of antigens to liver APCs. Accordingly, polymeric nanocapsules (NCs) synthesized exclusively of hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) and the adjuvant monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) adsorbed to the nanocapsule surface were developed. Aim of the present study was the evaluation of the in vitro and in vivo behavior of MPLA-functionalized NS5A-NCs regarding the interaction with liver dendritic cells (DCs) and the potential to induce intrahepatic immune responses in a mouse model. Maturation of DCs was significantly increased by application of NS5A+MPLA-NCs compared to non-functionalized NS5A-NCs promoting a vigorous expression of CD40, CD80, CD86 and a strong secretion of the Th1-related cytokine IL-12. NS5A-NCs were preferentially deposited in DCs and Kupffer cells residing in the liver after intravenous administration. Immunization with NS5A-NCs induced intrahepatic antigen-specific CD4(+) T cellular immune responses determined by the secretion of IFNγ and IL-2. Furthermore, supplementation with MPLA induced significant levels of NS5A-specific antibodies. The application of polymeric nanocapsules synthesized exclusively out of antigen avoids the risk of unintended side effects caused by additional carrier substances. Functionalization with adjuvants like MPLA and the efficient targeting to liver-resident APCs inherits the potential for application of antigen nanocapsules in further vaccination approaches against pathogens affecting the liver.

Abstract
Encapsulation of hydrophilic cancer drugs in polymeric nanocapsules was achieved in a one-pot process via the inverse miniemulsion periphery RAFT polymerization (IMEPP) approach. The chosen guest molecule was gemcitabine hydrochloride, which is used as the first-line treatment of pancreatic cancer. The resulting nanocapsules were confirmed to be ∼200 nm, with excellent encapsulation (∼96%) and loading (∼12%) efficiency. Postpolymerization reaction was successfully conducted to create glyocopolymer nanocapsules without any impact on the loads as well as the nanocapsules size or morphology. The loaded nanocapsules were specifically designed to be responsive in a reductive environment. This was confirmed by the successful disintegration of the nanocapsules in the presence of glutathione. The gemcitabine-loaded nanocapsules were tested in vitro against pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1), with the results showing an enhancement in the cytotoxicity by two fold due to selective accumulation and release of the nanocapsules within the cells. The results demonstrated the versatility of IMEPP as a tool to synthesize functionalized, loaded-polymeric nanocapsules suitable for drug-delivery application.

Abstract
Fundamental development of a biocompatible and degradable nanocarrier platform based on hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is reported. HES is a derivative of starch and possesses both high biocompatibility and improved stability against enzymatic degradation; it is used to prepare nanocapsules via the polyaddition reaction at the interface of water nanodroplets dispersed in an organic miniemulsion. The synthesized hollow nanocapsules can be loaded with hydrophilic guests in its aqueous core, tuned in size, chemically functionalized in various pathways, and show high shelf life stability. The surface of the HES nanocapsules is further functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) via different chemistries, which substantially enhanced blood half-life time. Importantly, methods for precise and reliable quantification of the degree of functionalization are also introduced, which enable the precise control of the chemistry on the capsules' surface. The stealth properties of these capsules is studied both in-vitro and in-vivo. The functionalized nanocapsules serve as a modular platform for specific cell targeting, as they show no unspecific up-taken by different cell types and show very long circulating time in blood (up to 72 h).

Abstract
In this review, we summarize recent advances in the synthesis of hybrid nanoparticles in miniemulsions since 2009. These hybrid nanoparticles include organic-inorganic, polymeric, and natural macromolecule/synthetic polymer hybrid nanoparticles. They may be prepared through encapsulation of inorganic components or natural macromolecules by miniemulsion (co)polymerization, simultaneous polymerization of vinyl monomers and vinyl-containing inorganic precursors, precipitation of preformed polymers in the presence of inorganic constituents through solvent displacement techniques, and grafting polymerization onto, from or through natural macromolecules. Characterization, properties, and applications of hybrid nanoparticles are also discussed.

Abstract
A broad spectrum of infectious liver diseases emphasizes the need of microparticles for targeted delivery of immunomodulatory substances to the liver. Microcapsules (MCs) are particularly attractive for innovative drug and vaccine formulations, enabling the combination of antigen, drugs, and adjuvants. The present study aimed to develop microcapsules characterized by an enhanced liver deposition and accelerated uptake by nonparenchymal liver cells (NPCs). Initially, two formulations of biodegradable microcapsules were synthesized from either hydroxyethyl starch (HES) or mannose. Notably, HES-MCs accumulated primarily in the liver, while mannose particles displayed a lung preference. Functionalization of HES-MCs with anti-CD40, anti-DEC205, and/or monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) enhanced uptake of MCs by nonparenchymal liver cells in vitro. In contrast, only MPLA-coated HES-MCs promoted significantly the in vivo uptake by NPCs. Finally, HES-MCs equipped with MPLA, anti-CD40, and anti-DEC205 induced the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6 by Kupffer cells (KCs), and IFN-γ and IL-12p70 by liver dendritic cells (DCs). The enhanced uptake and activation of KCs by MPLA-HES-MCs is a promising approach to prevent or treat infection, since KCs are exploited as an entry gate in various infectious diseases, such as malaria. In parallel, loading and activating liver DCs, usually prone to tolerance, bears the potential to induce antigen specific, intrahepatic immune responses necessary to prevent and treat infections affecting the liver.

Abstract
The synthesis of a novel nanocapsule-based carrier system is described, possessing a triggered release in remote-controlled fashion upon application of an external magnetic field in combination with the possibility to use the capsules as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, polymeric nanocontainers containing a high amount of superparamagnetic MnFe2 O4 nanoparticles and a thermo-degradable shell are fabricated via a miniemulsion route. The process allows the facile encapsulation of hydrophilic compounds, as demonstrated for a model dye. Release of the encapsulated dye is achieved upon application of an external alternating magnetic field. While the magnetic nanoparticles here act as heat generators to stimulate the decomposition of the shell and subsequently a release of the payload, they additionally enable the use of the nanocapsules as imaging agents for MRI. Due to the encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles, the nanocapsules possess high r2 relaxivity values of 96-120 Hz mmol(-1) , which makes them suitable for MRI. In toxicity experiments, the nanocapsules show no cell toxicity up to fairly high concentrations (600 µg mL(-1) ). Due to their dual-functionality, the nanocapsules possess high potential as nanocarriers with combined magnetic-field-induced release capability and as contrast agents for MRI.

Abstract
Polymeric nanogels, inorganic nanoparticles, and organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles can be prepared via the inverse miniemulsion technique. Hydrophilic functional cargos, such as proteins, DNA, and macromolecular fluoresceins, may be conveniently encapsulated in these nanostructured materials. In this review, the progress of inverse miniemulsions since 2000 is summarized on the basis of the types of reactions carried out in inverse miniemulsions, including conventional free radical polymerization, controlled/living radical polymerization, polycondensation, polyaddition, anionic polymerization, catalytic oxidation reaction, sol-gel process, and precipitation reaction of inorganic precursors. In addition, the applications of the nanostructured materials synthesized in inverse miniemulsions are also reviewed.

Abstract
Reported herein is the use of chiral cationic polyamines for two intriguing applications: fabrication of chiral covalently-linked microcapsules, and enantiospecific delivery of siRNA to Huh 7 cells. The microcapsules are easily fabricated from homochiral polymers, and the resulting architectures can be used for supramolecular chiral catalysis and many other potential applications. Enantiospecific delivery of siRNA to Huh 7 cells is seen by one 'enantiomer' of the polymers delivering siRNA with significantly improved transfection efficiency and reduced toxicity compared to the 'enantiomeric' polymer and commercially available transfection reagents. Taken together, the use of these easily accessible polyamine structures for diverse applications is highlighted in this Letter herein and can lead to numerous future research efforts.

Abstract
Synthesizing nanocarriers with stealth properties and delivering a "payload" to the particular organ remains a big challenge but is the prime prerequisite for any in vivo application. As a nontoxic alternative to the modification by poly(ethylene glycol) PEG, we describe the synthesis of cross-linked hydroxyethyl starch (HES, M(w) 200,000 g/mol) nanocapsules with a size range of 170-300 nm, which do not show nonspecific uptake into cells. The specific uptake was shown by coupling a folic acid conjugate as a model targeting agent onto the surface of the nanocapsules, because folic acid has a high affinity to a variety of human carcinoma cell lines which overexpress the folate receptor on the cell surface. The covalent binding of the folic acid conjugate onto HES capsules was confirmed by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. The coupling efficiency was determined using fluorescence spectroscopy. The specific cellular uptake of the HES nanocapsules after folic acid coupling into the folate-receptor presenting cells was studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and flow cytometry.

Performing Encapsulation of dsDNA and a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) inside Nanocontainers Using the Inverse Miniemulsion Process. Int J Artif Organs 2012; 35:77-83.

Abstract
We report the encapsulation of dsDNA molecules with a defined number of base pairs (476 bp and 790 bp) and their subsequent amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inside nanosized polymeric capsules/droplets. In the first set of experiments, the dsDNA template and PCR reagents were encapsulated in crosslinked potato starch using the inverse (water-in-oil) miniemulsion technique. After redispersion of the capsules in a water-surfactant mixture, PCR was performed inside the crosslinked starch nanocapsules. In the second set of experiments, the PCR was performed inside the aqueous nanodroplets before capsule formation, and then each miniemulsion droplet was covered with a polybutylcyanoacrylate (PBCA) shell which was formed through anionic polymerization directly at the droplet interface. The PCR efficiency was quantitatively evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy, using a DNA-specific dye called SYBR® Green which intercalates between the base pairs of the dsDNA.

Abstract
The miniemulsion technique is a particular case in the family of heterophase polymerizations, which allows the formation of functionalized polymers by polymerization or modification of polymers in stable nanodroplets. We present here an overview of the different polymer syntheses within the miniemulsion droplets as reported in the literature, and of the current trends in the field.
