FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a method of producing a dispersion of silicon dioxide particles with a modified surface, having mean diameter of not more than 100 nm, via high-pressure grinding of a pre-dispersion containing a) 10-50 wt % silicon dioxide particles with a modified surface, b) at least one glycol monoether of general formula H3C(CH2)m-O-(CH2)n-[O-(CH2)o]p-OH (A), c) at least one carboxylic ester of general formula H2x+1Cx-O-CH2-(CHR)-[O-CHR]y-O-C(=O)-CzH2z+1 (B), where the molar ratio A/B ranges from 10:90 to 40:60 and m, n, o, p, x, y and z do not depend on each other. Also disclosed is a dispersion obtained using the disclosed method, a method of producing granules of silicon dioxide particles with a modified surface by separating the liquid phase of the dispersion, granules obtained using the disclosed method and use of the dispersion and granules in coating materials.
EFFECT: disclosed dispersion and particles can be used in transparent coating compositions.
