There are some excellent review articles on different aspects of mesostructured materials, such as synthesis, properties, and applications. " Extensive research effort has been devoted to the exploitation of new phases (lamellar, cubic, hexagonal structures), expansion of the pore sizes (about 2-50 nm are accessible), and variable framework compositions (from pure silica, through mixed metal oxides to purely metal oxide-based frameworks, and inorganic-organic hybrid mesostructures). Another research focus is on the formation of mesostructured materials in other morphologies than powders, e.g. monolithic materials and films, which are required for a variety of applications including, but not limited to, sensors (based on piezoelectric mass balances or surface acoustic wave devices), catalyst supports, (size- and shape-selective) filtration membranes or (opto)electronic devices. The current article is focused... 

Inorganic nanoshell-coated organic polystyrene beads with well-defined nanostructures are attractive because of their applications in the fields of SERS, catalysis, biochemistry, and chemical sensors. The core-shell type composite materials are in the frontier of advanced research, in which the shell component determines the surface properties and the core component indirectly induces the other properties of the system. Bimetallic nanosheUs on functionalized polystyrene beads have been fabricated through a layer-by-layer deposition pathway involving the electrostatic interaction of the polystyrene moiety.
