Abstract

L'invention concerne des particules pouvant être rendues hydrophobes par formation in situ d'une fraction contenant des groupes amino et silanes. L'invention est particulièrement utile pour un traitement de particules inorganiques hydrophiles visant à déterminer la fonctionnalité d'un agent de pontage, sans nécessité de procéder à une réaction des particules inorganiques hydrophiles avec un agent de pontage per se. Les particules traités peuvent être utilisées, par exemple, comme agent de composition pour des polymères.
