Oberflächenmodifizierte, sphärische feine Partikel auf der Basis von Polymethylsilsesquioxanen und Verfahren zu deren Herstellung

摘要

The surface-modified polymethylsilsesquioxane spherical fine particles of this invention comprise polymethylsilsesquioxane spherical fine particles serving as nuclei, and at least one member of an alkyl group having two or more carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, a phenyl group, an epoxy group, an acryloxy group and an amino group is bonded to the surface of a particle. They are prepared by a process comprising the step of carrying out reaction in an aqueous suspension of polymethylsilsesquioxane fine particles in the presence of an alkali catalyst. The surface-modified spherical fine particles can have various organic groups on their surfaces, and are used in various fields such as rubbers, plastics, coating materials, inks, and cosmetics, depending on the types of the organic groups.
