There are provided inorganic/polymer composite particles having good
UV-scattering efficiency and improved dispersion stability in organic
formulation; and a method for preparing the same, which comprises the
following steps of (1) dispersing hydrophobic-treated inorganic
particles in monomer and then adding initiator thereto; (2) emulsifying
the inorganic dispersion of step (1) in presence of surfactant and
dispersion stabilizer; and (3) suspension polymerizing the
inorganic/monomer emulsion of step (2), to give inorganic/polymer
composite particles.
