To provide a material having inorganic fine particles dispersed therein and its production method at a low production cost wherein coagulation in a dispersing phase is hardly caused.

The material contains inorganic fine particles obtained by hydrolyzing a metal alkoxide and being present as a dispersing phase in a continuous phase and an interlayer-peeled laminar compound. A method for dispersing inorganic particles comprises dispersing a laminar compound in an interlayer-peeled state into a continuous phase solution containing a thermosetting resin, and adding a metal alkoxide to cause hydrolysis, to thereby precititate the inorganic particles.
