Abstract
The present invention relates to hydrophobic silica particles including silica particles each being impregnated with a higher alcohol having 19 or more carbon atoms, and having a binding degree of the higher alcohol to the silica particles of 70% or more measured by the following measuring method: the measuring method: 1 g of the hydrophobic silica particles is dispersed in 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran, and after maintaining the dispersed state for 5 minutes, a filtered residue is washed with 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran and 20 mL of hexane and dried, and a ratio, represented by Equation (1), of a carbon content of the hydrophobic silica particles after washing to a carbon content of the hydrophobic silica particles before washing is defined as the binding degree, binding degree (%)=carbon content (%) of hydrophobic silica particles after washing/carbon content (%) of hydrophobic silica particles before washing×100 (1).
