An oxirane group or an hydride group is introduced into the surface of a carbon nanotube by a chemical method, and a patterned thin film is formed by photocuring of the surface-modified carbon nanotube, or a polymer of the carbon nanotube by thermal curing. A method for producing a composite is provided. An oxirane group or an hydride group capable of participating in cationic polymerization is introduced on the surface of a carbon nanotube, and the carbon nanotube is dispersed in an organic solvent together with a photoacid generator or a photobase generator. After coating on the material, UV exposure is performed through a photomask, and after the cationic polymerization of the carbon nanotube is induced in the exposed area, the non-exposed area is removed with a developer to form a negative pattern of the carbon nanotube. To do. Also, carbon nanotubes are dispersed in an organic solvent together with a thermosetting agent, coated on a substrate, and then thermally cured to produce a carbon nanotube polymer composite.
