The present invention relates to: a process for producing an organized clay which comprises: a step in which a lamellar clay mineral having a number-average particle diameter of 10-300 nm (layered silicate such as smectite, talc, kaolinite, or mica) is swollen with water or an aqueous solvent and hydroxy groups located on the edges of the swollen lamellar clay mineral are organized with a coupling agent, etc.; and a step in which an organic onium salt is then added to the lamellar clay mineral to conduct cation exchange in which metal cations present between the layers of the lamellar clay mineral are replaced with organic-onium ions in an amount corresponding to 60-120% of methylene blue (MB) adsorption equivalent; an organized clay which is obtained by the process and can be uniformly dispersed in a liquid resin while retaining substantially no layered structure; a resin composite (varnish, printing ink, coating material, etc.) comprising a liquid resin composition and the organized clay uniformly dispersed therein; and a cured object obtained from the resin composite.
