具有空心结构特征的微球材料由于其特殊的中空结构而具有独特的化学和物理性质，呈现出与相应实心材料较大差异的特殊新型功能，近几年越来越多地引起人们的关注，成为功能材料领域的研究热点，有望应用于微反应器、药物输送、控制释放、光催化、酶包覆、光子晶体等方面。此外，由于空心微球具有密度低、有效面积大、隔热吸音效果好等突出特点，因此可以作为密度减轻剂、树脂添加剂和空间填充剂等材料广泛应用于石油开采、建筑涂料和生物医药等行业和领域。本课题组研发了多种类型不同规格的无机和有机空心微球，并且在实际应用中取得了良好的效果。
　　Due to its special hollow structure characteristics, hollow microsphere material presents unique chemical and physical properties，and has larger difference compared with the corresponding solid special used as new functional materials, so that increasingly aroused people's concern in recent years, and hollow microsphere material becomes a hot research topic in the field of functional materials, it is expected to be used in micro reactor, drug delivery and controlled release, photocatalysis, enzyme cladding, photonic crystals, etc. In addition, because hollow microsphere has lower density, larger effective area, good effect in insulating heat and absorbing sound, it can be used as a reducing agent of density, resin additives and density space filler materials are widely used in oil drilling, architectural coatings, biological pharmaceutical and other fields. This team has developed a variety of types of different specifications of the inorganic and organic hollow microsphere material, and achieved good effect in practical application
