Synthesis of hollow silica nanostructures using functional hairy polymer nanofibers as templates

Abstract

Hollow silica nanofibers and nanospheres were synthesized from functional hairy polymer nanofibers as sacrificial templates. The polymer nanofibers were isolated from a cylinder-forming polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) block copolymer using a selective-swelling approach.
