Nano-encapsulated triggered-release viscosity breaker

A method of servicing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising:

• (a) preparing a wellbore servicing a fluid comprising a nanoencapsulate containing a wellbore servicing additive, wherein the nanoencapsulate is prepared by:
• i) providing an amount of a polyelectrolyte having a charge;
• ii) providing an amount of a counterion having a valence of at least 2;
• iii) combining the polyelectrolyte and the counterion in a solution such that the polyelectrolyte self-assembles to form aggregates;
• iv) adding to the aggregates the wellbore servicing additive to be encapsulated;
• and
• v) adding nanoparticles to the solution such that the nanoparticles arrange themselves around the aggregates to form nanoencapsulates that encapsulate the wellbore servicing additive;
• and
• (b) introducing the wellbore servicing fluid to the wellbore, wherein the wellbore servicing additive is released from the nanoencapsulates into the wellbore and/or surrounding formation and wherein the release of the wellbore servicing additive occurs following the addition of a salt solution to the wellbore servicing fluid in an amount effective to produce deformation of the nanoencapsulates.
