A process for producing a composite material which comprises a contacting step of contacting a layered clay mineral having a cation exchange capability of 50 to 200 millequivalents per 100 g with a swelling agent, thereby forming a complex which has the property of being swollen by a molten polyamid

A process for producing a composite material which comprises a contacting step of contacting a layered clay mineral having a cation exchange capability of 50 to 200 millequivalents per 100 g with a swelling agent, thereby forming a complex which has the property of being swollen by a molten polyamide monomer, a mixing step of mixing said complex with a monomer of polyamide, and a polymerization step of polymerizing said monomer contained in said mixture by heating said mixture, and adding a substance to control the crystalline structure or molecular structure of the polyamide-containing resin in the mixing step and/or the polymerization step wherein the substance is a polyamine and is at least one member selected from diamines, triamines, and tetramines, pentamines, and aliphatic polyamines.
