DESCRIPTION:One of the challenges in the (bio)-nanotechnology field is dev
 elopment of nano-sized delivery systems comprising different functionaliti
 es.  These systems enable to ship and to carry bioactive substances to pre
 -defined site and unload it in designed time and place. Layer-by-layer ass
 embled capsules have been intensively studied in recent years owing to the
 ir ability to encapsulate a wide range of chemicals from complex biomacrom
 olecules to small water soluble compounds\, for their permeability to be m
 odified and their responsiveness to different factors and functionalities 
 to be tailored in one capsule entity. Current research leads to the fabric
 ation of carriers with remote guiding and activation by optical\, magnetic
  and ultrasound addressing\, what envisages unique applications as multifu
 nctional biomaterials\, including intracellular entering and in-vivo deliv
 ery with remote controlled release of micropackaged chemicals. Release and
  encapsulation of materials by light and/or ultrasound and their navigatio
 n with magnetic field is a particularly interesting topic for chemical and
  biomedical applications. Microcapsules display a broad spectrum of qualit
 ies over other existing microdelivery systems such as high stability\, lon
 gevity\, versatile construction and geometry of micropackeging and a varie
 ty of methods to retain and release the substances. \n
