Abstract

The present invention provides improved methods for the preparation of porous inorganic particles. The methods involve combining an aqueous sol containing a colloidal dispersion of inorganic particles with a polymerizable organic material, polymerizing this material, and thereby forming aggregates of colloidal particles and polymer.
