第1反応工程では、原料コロイダルシリカを、化学的にスルホン酸基に変換できる官能基を有するシランカップリング剤の存在下で加熱する。これにより、反応物(化学的にスルホン酸基に変換できる官能基を有するシランカップリング剤がシリカ粒子の表面に結合したもの)が得られる。
一般式(1)中、Rはアルキル基であり、好ましくは炭素数1~8の低級アルキル基であり、より好ましくは炭素数1~4の低級アルキル基である。ここで、上記Rとしては、メチル基、エチル基、プロピル基、イソプロピル基、ブチル基、ペンチル基、ヘキシル基等が例示され、Rがメチル基であるテトラメトキシシラン、Rがエチル基であるテトラエトキシシラン、Rがイソプロピル基であるテトライソプロポキシシランが好ましい。また、アルコキシシランの誘導体としては、アルコキシシランを部分的に加水分解して得られる低縮合物が例示される。本発明では、加水分解速度を制御し易い点、シングルnmの微小シリカ粒子が得られ易い点、未反応物の残留が少ない点でテトラメトキシシランを用いることが好ましい。
