An alkyl silane compound represented by the general formula RSi(OL) 3 (here, R is an alkyl group, L is H, Si or a group capable of easily changing the OL group into the OH group in a solution or a suspension), a silicon compound represented by the general formula Si(OM) 4 (here, M is H, Si or a group capable of easily changing the OM group into the OH group in a solution or a suspension), and water are reacted in a solvent or a dispersion medium. A thermoplastic layered alkyl siloxane with the composition formula represented by the general formula (RSi 1+x O 2+1.5x+z L z ) m (here, R is an alkyl group, L is H, Si or a group capable of easily changing the OL group into the OH group in a solution or a suspension, and 0.5≦x≦2, 2≦m≦200, 0≦z), which is a thermoplastic inorganic/organic layered composite having good shaping property and dispersing property, capable of transitioning at various temperatures including the vicinity of the room temperature can be provided. |
