1. A method for the production of polymer-containing particles comprising:
- combining (a) a non-solvent;
(b) a ternary agent;
(c) a surfactant;
(d) a monomer, macromonomer, or a combination thereof; and
(e) an initiator to produce a non-solvent solution;
combining a solvent that is miscible with said non-solvent, and a polymer that is soluble in said solvent to produce a solvent solution; and
combining said non-solvent solution and said solvent solution to produce polymer-containing particles as a result of a phase separation between a non-solvent phase and a solvent phase induced by an amount of said ternary agent.
