Abstract

A versatile method for the formation of monodisperse, bridged silsesquioxane nanoparticles with hollow interiors and porous shells has been developed using silica nanospheres as templates. Tunable size and shell thickness, as well as high surface areas and large pore volumes of the hollow particles, allow for practical application of these nanoparticles in many fields.
