Popis: Hydrophobic hollow silica particles are desirable for several applications such as hydrophobic coatings, thermal insulation, and thermally resistant insulative paints. However, converting hydrophilic particles into hydrophobic particles without compromising their structural integrity is challenging. In this work, we present a low cost strategy to modify the surface of hollow silica particles from hydrophilic to hydrophobic without compromising their structural integrity.
