1. A porous spherical microparticle having a bimodal population of pores wherein:
at least 95% of the pores in the particle conform into two distinct populations, wherein each population is differentiatable by the average diameter of the pores in the population: a first larger diameter pore population resulting from templating of microemulsion droplets; and a second smaller diameter pore population resulting from templating of micelles.
