Nanoparticles, method for modifying their surfaces, dispersion of nanoparticles, method for the production and the utilization thereof

摘要

Surface-modified nanoparticles whose surface is covered completely or near-completely with (A) modifying groups which are attached covalently to the surface via linking functional groups (a) and contain inert spacer groups (b) and contain reactive functional groups (c) which are connected via the groups (b) to the groups (a) and are inert toward the reactive functional groups of the surface to be modified, (B) modifying groups which are attached covalently to the surface via linking functional groups (a) and contain inert groups (d) having a smaller hydrodynamic volume V_H than the inert spacer groups (Ab), and (C) modifying groups which are attached to the surface via linking functional groups (a) which contain at least one silicon atom, contain inert groups (e), and have a smaller hydrodynamic volume V_H than the modifying groups (A); dispersions comprising the nanoparticles, processes for preparing them, and their use.
