Surface-modified inorganic substance, method for manufacturing surface-modified inorganic substance, method for modifying surface of inorganic substance with organic substance, heat dissipation material, thermally conductive material, and lubricant

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel surface-modified inorganic substance obtained by modifying the surface of an inorganic nitride or an inorganic oxide with a boronic acid compound, and a heat dissipation material, a thermally conductive material, and a lubricant which use the surface-modified inorganic substance. The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing the surface-modified inorganic substance, and provides, as a novel method for modifying the surface of an inorganic substance selected from an inorganic oxide and an inorganic nitride with an organic substance, a method for modifying the surface of an inorganic nitride or an inorganic oxide with an organic substance that includes making a contact between the inorganic nitride or the inorganic oxide with a boronic acid compound.
