Abstract: The present invention relates to a particle comprising a core which comprises an oxide selected from rare earth oxides alone or in a mixture with metal oxides and which is coated with a layer of silica functionalized with a coupling agent comprising at least one chemical function soluble in a hydrophobic solvent, and to a composition comprising at least one such particle. The present invention likewise relates to the method for preparing same and to various uses thereof.

Abstract: What is provided includes a nanoparticle of porous silica, incorporating at least one molecule of interest, the silica network inside said nanoparticle being functionalized by at least one group capable of setting up an ionic and/or hydrogen non-covalent bond with the molecule of interest, whereby the molecule(s) of interest is(are) linked to the silica network solely by non-covalent bonds. In addition, a method for preparing said silica particle and uses thereof is provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a silica particle comprising at least one complex of at least one lanthanide and of at least one ligand of formula (A) in which Z1, Z2 and Z3, which may be identical or different, each represent a group bearing an atom bearing a lone pair and/or a negative charge; R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11 and R12, which may be identical or different, each represent a hydrogen, an optionally substituted alkyl radical, an optionally substituted aryl radical, a halogen, a group —OR13 or a group —SR13, with R13 representing H, an optionally substituted alkyl group or an optionally substituted aryl group.

Abstract: A composition including: a dispersion of particles of at least one oxide of at least one luminescent rare earth, disaggregated and stabilized in a hydrophobic liquid medium to which at least one surfactant is added, in which said surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant having an HLB (hydrophilic-to-lipophilic balance) lower than 12.

Abstract: In the invention, use is made of at least one metal organosilicate polymer, in the form of particles, having one of the following formulae I and II: R4Si4Al2O8(OH)x,??Formula I: R8Si8M6O16(OH)y,??Formula II: for the protection from oxidation and/or electromagnetic radiation of a compound sensitive to oxidation and/or to electromagnetic radiation. The invention finds application in particular in the field of the protection from oxidation and photoaging of various materials.
