    摘要: Disclosed is a fine particle dispersion which is superior in dispersibility and storage stability. Specifically disclosed is a fine particle dispersion in which a fine particle (P) comprised of one type or not less than two types of a metal, an alloy, and/or a metallic compound, having a mean particle diameter of between 1 nm and 150 nm for primary particles thereof, with being coated at least a part of a surface thereof with a polymer dispersing agent (D), is dispersed in a mixed organic solvent. This fine particle dispersion is characterized in that a weight ratio of (D/P) between the polymer dispersing agent (D) coating the surface of the fine particle (P) and the fine particles (P) in the dispersion is between 0.001 and 10, and the mixed organic solvent is one of: (i) a mixed organic solvent which contains an organic solvent (A) as between 50% and 95% by volume having an amide group, and a low boiling point organic solvent (B) as between 5% and 50% by volume having a boiling point of between 20° C. and 100° C. at a normal pressure; (ii) a mixed organic solvent which contains the organic solvent (A) as between 50% and 95% by volume having the amide group, and an organic solvent (C) as between 5% and 50% by volume having a boiling point of higher than 100° C. at a normal pressure and comprised of an alcohol and/or a polyhydric alcohol having one or not less than two hydroxyl groups in a molecule thereof; or (iii) a mixed organic solvent which contains the organic solvent (A) as between 50% and 94% by volume having the amide group, the low boiling point organic solvent (B) as between 5% and 49% by volume having the boiling point of between 20° C. and 100° C. at the normal pressure, and the organic solvent (C) as between 1% and 45% by volume having the boiling point of higher than 100° C. at the normal pressure and comprised of the alcohol and/or the polyhydric alcohol having the one or not less than the two hydroxyl groups in the molecule thereof.
