When the surface of the nano-silica particles is modified with siloxane substituents containing aldehyde functional groups, they are easily incorporated into compositions, e.g., polymer coating compositions, to maintain scratch resistance, dust contamination resistance, and anti-sticking properties while maintaining excellent film forming properties. Particles are provided that can be improved. Novel silica particles, simple and economical methods for their preparation, and antifouling coatings and polymer molding compositions containing them are provided. |
