Organic/inorganic hybrids, and process of producing them
The invention has for its objects to provide an organic/inorganic hybrid that has high flame retardancy, flexibility, moldability and affinities for organic compounds, and is capable of including therein an organic compound having a large number of carbon atoms.The organic/inorganic hybrid comprises a layered hydroxide mineral 40 with sheet-like inorganic compound unit layers 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d and an organic compound 13 included between the inorganic compound unit layers 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d. The above objects are achievable by using as the hydroxide mineral 40 at least one hydroxide mineral selected from the group consisting of Mg(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, Al(OH)3, AlO(OH), Fe(OH)3 and FeO(OH), and as the organic compound 13 a saccharide having 4 to 40 carbon atoms.
