Zusammenfassung:A method of producing new hydrophobic aluminas by i) providing a slurry comprising an alumina compound, the slurry having a pH of above 5.5; ii) mixing an organic composition comprising carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains with the slurry to form an acid modified slurry; iii) hydrothermally conditioning the acid modified slurry to form a hydrothermally aged slurry; and iv) drying the hydrothermally aged slurry. The new hydrophobic aluminas have surface modified structures distinguished by a low humidity content and very small nanoparticles. These new hydrophobic aluminas can be uniformly dispersed in a substrate, for example polymers.
