Abstract
The commercial drug capsules effectively encapsulate high amounts of drugs into the large hollow interior. By gradual degradation of shell materials, the drugs can be released from the interior. This drug delivery mode has been widely accepted for oral drug administration. Because of the large particle sizes of commercial capsules (millimeter or centimeter), they are impossible to be injected by intravenous administration. Thus, it is highly desirable to reduce the sizes of capsules into micro/nano-size range to meet the requirements of intravenous injection. Recently developed nanotechnology can effectively solve this critical issue.
