We demonstrate that CSA can be used for the fabrication of core-shell colloids and hollow capsules. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example to extend CSA from 2-dimensional to 3-dimensional systems. Besides the advantages of the ESA technique, the capsules fabricated using the CSA technique possesses high stability, which is very important for certain application of the capsules. The use of organic solution and the covalent nature of the capsule wall make CSA a useful complement to the ESA technique.
