Abstract:	In this study, the hollow latex particle was synthesized by three processes. The first process was to synthesize the poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (poly(MMA-MAA)) copolymer latex particles by the method of soapless emulsion polymerization. Following the first process, the second process was to polymerize MMA, MAA, 3,3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPS), and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the presence of poly(MMA-MAA) latex particles to form the linear poly(MMA-MAA)/crosslinking poly(MMA-MAA-MPS) core-shell latex particles. In the third process, the core-shell latex particles were heated in the presence of ammonia to form the poly(MMA-MAA-MPS) hollow latex particles. A sufficient heating time and high-heating temperature were necessary for the ammonia to dissolve the linear poly(MMA-MAA) core to form a perfect hollow structure. The crosslinking poly(MMA-MAA-MPS) shell was a barrier for the ammonia to diffuse into the latex particles so that the latex particle with the high-crosslinking shell showed an imperfect hollow structure. Besides, the hollow poly(MMA-MAA-MPS) latex particles reacted with ZnO nanoparticles, which were synthesized by a traditional sol-gel method, to form the polymer/inorganic poly(MMA-MAA-MPS)/ZnO composite hollow latex particles. With the increase of crosslinking degree would increase the amount of ZnO bonding. Moreover, the poly(MMA-MAA-MPS) hollow latex particles were used as carriers to load with the model drug, caffeine. The release of caffeine from poly(MMA-MAA-MPS) hollow latex particles was investigated.
