PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic inorganic composite material having excellent persistence of a physiologically active function or sustained release properties of a physiologically active substance and water holding properties and environmental affinity, to provide an inexpensive and safe method for producing the same by which the function according to the purpose can be imparted and to provide an external preparation containing the same.SOLUTION: The organic inorganic composite material having the physiologically active function is characterized in that an inorganic layer compound is used as a main raw material and a substance having a physiological activity as an interlayer ion is introduced between layers of the inorganic layer compound. The new method for producing the organic inorganic composite material having the physiologically active function comprises using the inorganic layer compound as the main raw material and introducing one or two or more kinds of compounds having the physiological activity such as plant growth action as the interlayer ion between the layers of the inorganic layer compound by, e.g. an adsorption method, a reconstruction method or a co-precipitation method. The external preparation comprises the new organic inorganic composite material obtained by the method.COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI【課題】 生理活性機能の優れた持続性あるいは生理活性物質の徐放性とともに保水性、環境親和性を有する有機無機複合材料、低コストでかつ安全な、目的に応じた機能を賦与させることができるその製造方法及びそれを含む外用剤を提供する。【解決手段】無機層状化合物を主原料とし、この無機層状化合物の層間に、層間イオンとして生理活性作用を有する物質が導入されていることを特徴とする、生理活性機能を有する有機無機複合材料、無機層状化合物を主原料とし、この無機層状化合物の層間に、層間イオンとして植物生長作用などの生理活性作用を有する1種又は2種以上の化合物を、例えば、吸着法、再構築法、共沈法などにより導入する、生理活性機能を有する有機無機複合材料の新規製造方法、それにより得られる新規有機無機複合材料を含む外用剤。【選択図】図1
