An inorganic compound sol comprises a dispersion medium and, dispersed therein, inorganic compound particulates whose surface has been modified by an organic compound exhibiting a molecular polarizability of from 2×10 −40 to 850×10 −40 C 2 m 2 J −2 . The inorganic compound sol modified by an organic compound possesses a desirable affinity with the dispersion media, providing excellent dispersion stability in solvents while avoiding aggregation of particulates. |
