Provided is a method for effectively modifying a surface of a h-BN particle including a (0001) plane, which is a base surface of h-BN, with a variety of materials.

A method for producing a surface-coated hexagonal boron nitride particle of one embodiment includes mixing a hexagonal boron nitride particle (a), a coupling agent (b), and a catalyst (c) having a polar group and an aromatic ring in a solvent to form a layer containing a condensate of the coupling agent on at least a portion of a surface of the hexagonal boron nitride particle.

A structure body includes a free-standing structure including a fibrous member and/or a shell. The fibrous member and/or a shell are each a layered body formed of at least one light-absorbing layer and at least one dielectric layer. The light-absorbing layer includes a light-absorbing material that has an absorption in a visible light region, and the dielectric layer includes a dielectric material. The fibrous member and/or the shell have a three-dimensionally continuous configuration.

The invention relates to interference pigments based on SiO.sub.2 flakes having a broad layer-thickness distribution, and to the use thereof in paints, coatings, powder coatings, plastics and in particular in cosmetic formulations and for colouring food and pharmaceutical products.

Porous metal oxide microspheres are prepared via a process comprising forming a liquid solution or dispersion of polydisperse polymer nanoparticles and a metal oxide; forming liquid droplets from the solution or dispersion; drying the liquid droplets to provide polymer template microspheres comprising polymer nanospheres and metal oxide; and removing the polymer nanospheres from the template microspheres to provide the porous metal oxide microspheres. The porous microspheres exhibit saturated colors and are suitable as colorants for a variety of end-uses.
