Introduction
The intensive property changes with respect to
size of the particles in the nano-range.
Recently hollow nanospheres have attracted
considerable research attention due low-density,
large specific surface area, good stability and
permeability than solid nanospheres.
Application in the field of cosmetics, coating,
biomedicines, photocatalyst, and drug delivery,
in the area of electronics etc.
 Problem
To prepare a efficient and commercial root for
synthesis hollow nanosphere is a challenge.

Control of size.

Shape of the hollow nanoparticles.

Isolation of hollow nanospheres from solution.

Literature review
1959- First concept of Nanotechnology given by Richard
Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting.
1974- The term nanotechnology was defined by
Tokyo Science University Professor Norio Taniguchi
in a paper: On the Basic Concept of 'Nano-
Technology.
1993- Matijevic and others demonstrated core/shell type
colloids.
1998- With Carusos seminal paper on colloidal
templating synthesis of hollow spheres.
