Various embodiments disclosed relate to a resin including nanoparticles including surface-bonded hydrophobically-modifying alkyl groups. The present invention provides a resin component that includes a curable resin. The resin component also includes nanoparticles dispersed in the resin. The nanoparticles each independently include surface-bonded hydrophobically-modifying (C-C)hydrocarbyl groups. At least one of the (C-C)hydrocarbyl groups is a (C-C)alkyl group and at least one of the surface-bonded hydrophobically-modifying (C-C)hydrocarbyl groups is a (C-C)aryl group.
