Using single strand DNA (ssDNA) target as a "vehicle'' and Cy5 dye molecule as "cargo'', the selective encapsulation of Cy5 by DNA hybridization in dendrimer/polymer multilayer microcapsules is reported. This approach can be applied for many low molecular weight molecules, which are usually difficult encapsulate because of their diffusion.
