A method for producing a silica composite particle including a silica particle and at least one compound in which an aluminum atom bonds to an organic group through oxygen. The method includes: (i) providing a silica particle dispersion liquid having a silica particle content of about 20 mass % or more; (ii) mixing and reacting a compound represented by formula (S1) and the silica particle dispersion liquid to obtain a slurry; (iii) providing the at least one compound; and (iv) then mixing and reacting the slurry with the at least one compound to form the silica composite particle.

In a filler for tires containing silica particles and an aggregation inhibitor inhibiting the aggregation of the silica particles, the aggregation inhibitor contains at least one kind selected from the group consisting of phosphate and derivative thereof, amino alcohol, cationic surfactant, water-soluble aminosilane, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, nonionic surfactant, tertiary amine compound, polyvinyl alcohol, non-zinc soap, saturated fatty acid ester, and glycerine fatty acid ester.

The present invention relates to dispersion of surface modified inorganic particles including (a) fluid comprising a complexing agent, and (b) the surface modified inorganic particles comprising polyvalent metal ions.

A radically polymerizable composition comprising at least one polyfunctional radically polymerizable monomer having no acid group, at least one acid group-containing radically polymerizable monomer and/or at least one acidic oligomer, at least one fluoroaluminosilicate glass filler and/or radiopaque glass filler, and at least one initiator for the radical polymerization, wherein the fluoroaluminosilicate glass filler and/or radiopaque glass filler is coated with a silica (hetero)polycondensate. The composition is characterized by high stability and is particularly suitable as a dental material.

The invention relates to hydrophobing additives on the basis of silica, one or more silicone resins and one or more functionalized alkylalkoxysilanes, the alkyl groups thereof carrying at least one amino, carboxylic acid, epoxy or hydroxy group.

Improved silica based matting agents are disclosed. The matting agents are useful in waterborne coatings composition to provide exceptional properties to a wood based substrate. Films resulting on the coated substrate unexpectedly provide improved chemical resistance, thermal stress resistance, weather resistance, and/or film clarity to the surface of a wood substrate. Methods of making and using the matting agents are also disclosed.

Capsules comprising crumpled graphene sheets that form a crumpled graphene shell encapsulating an internal cargo comprising nanostructures of a second component are provided. Also provided are anode materials for lithium ion batteries comprising the capsules, wherein the nanostructures are composed of an electrochemically active material, such as silicon.

Color-bleed resistant pigment particles containing an anionic dye, a quaternary ammonium compound, and a silica and/or silicate material having a negative zeta potential are disclosed. Related methods of making these colored pigment particles also are provided.

The present invention relates to spherical, dense micrometre-sized particles comprising colourants. The invention also relates to a material comprising these particles intended for use in papermaking, paint, agri-food, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals. It also relates to the process for preparing these particles and their incorporation in a matrix.

Provided is an inorganic powder which can impart feeling, which is equivalent to or greater than that of resin beads, and in particular, softness and smoothness to cosmetics. In the composite surface-treated inorganic powder, a base material powder whose main constituent includes an inorganic material or inorganic materials is surface-treated by a cationic surfactant and higher aliphatic alcohol.
