Organic-inorganic composite and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide composite particulates and a method for manufacturing the composite particulates, the particulates including an organic substance and a metal having exceptional adhesiveness to a substrate, allowing easier control over metallic particle dispersion, facilitating control over electrical conductivity, and exhibiting high electroconductivity. The metallic particulates are characterized in that they have a thiol compound coordinated on the surfaces thereof, they are adsorbed onto a substrate with a silane compound interposed therebetween, and the thiol compound on the surfaces is subjected to oxidative polymerization, thereby yielding a structure in which an electroconductive polymer is coordinate-bonded to the surface of the metallic particulates.
