ABSTRACT: A new approach to prepare hollow silica spheres was reported. Polyvinylacetate parti-
cles used as templates were synthesized by dispersion polymerization. Silica shells were coated on PVAc
particles by the sol-gel method using TMOS as precursor and the PVAc cores would be dissolved syn-
chronously to form ...
