Abstract
The concept of polyelectrolyte capsules as multifunctional carrier systems is described. The walls of a capsule can be functionalized with fluorescent, magnetic, and heatable colloidal nanoparticles and also biological macromolecules, while its cavity can be loaded with cargo molecules. Potential applications of this carrier system for delivery and sensing in cells are discussed.
