Abstract
Ellipsoidal mesoscale "egg shells" (see Figure) have been prepared by a tem
plate-directed synthesis using a sol-gel precursor. TiO2 shells of micromet
er sizes should have a great potential as containers in microencapsulation
and their ellipsoidal shape should provide them with a range of interesting
optical, mechanical, and hydrodynamic properties.
