Detailed description

Latex particles were adsorbed on solid substrate and then covered with ultrathin titania films by the surface sol-gel process. Hollow titania spheres formed after removal of the latex template by oxygen plasma treatment were connected with each other via nanotubes, reflecting the original disposition of the latex particles.
