Abstract
According to the present invention, there is provided an organic-inorganic composite material which shows high mechanical strength and high water resistance, requires low cost for preparation, and is preferred to be used as a high performance and a high functional plastic material. The present invention provides an organic-inorganic composite material which comprises a matrix of an organic polymer (E), metal oxide particles (C) dispersed uniformly in the organic polymer (E), and a surface modifier for allowing the metal oxide particles (C) to disperse uniformly in the organic polymer (E), wherein the surface modifier is another organic polymer (A) which has a functional group formable of a covalent bond to a surface of the metal oxide particles (C).
