Abstract
The submicrometer monodisperse zinc sulfide (ZnS) hollow spheres were synthesized by gamma-ray irradiation at room temperature, using monodisperse poly (styrene-methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid) (PSMA) latex spheres as the templates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and UV–vis spectroscopy were used to characterize these nanoparticles, indicating the formation of core–shell colloidal spheres, as well as hollow spheres. The TEM study for the ZnS-coated PSMA core-shell particles has revealed the uniform coating of ZnS on the PSMA core surface as a thin layer. The obtained ZnS hollow spheres are uniform having a diameter range of 365–375 nm, and wall thickness range of 25–35 nm.
