Provided herein is a composition comprising from 50% to 60% polysiloxane consisting essentially of polyphenylmethylsiloxane and α,ω-methoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, from 40% to 50% organic solvent, from 2% to 4% polysilazane, and polysilane of a formula (R.sub.1R.sub.2Si).sub.n, wherein n is greater than 1, and wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and are alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, alkylamino, aryl, aralkyl, or alkylsilyl. The composition, after curing, is a flame resistant binder for forming a composition-fiber composite that withstands repeated temperatures over 1800° F. The composition may further comprise from 0.1% to 2% of an enhancer selected from butyltitanate and aminoethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane (H.sub.2NC.sub.2H.sub.4NHC.sub.3H.sub.6—Si(OCH.sub.3).sub.3). The composition may be mixed with fibers in a ratio of 35:65 to 45:55 (w/w), and the composition-fiber mixture may be cured under vacuum at a temperature of 200° F. to 450° F. for 30 minutes to 180 minutes to form a composite.

Metal oxide-polymer composite particles have a median particle size D50 of 40-75 nm or 100-150 nm and an average RTA of at least 0.06. Alternatively or in addition, metal oxide-polymer composites comprise two or more populations of metal oxide particles differing in size, particle size distribution, or shape. Alternatively or in addition, the use of a multicomponent hydrophobizing system including an alkylsilane to fabricate metal oxide-polymer composite particles increases the tribocharge of the composite particles.
