Proposed are an organic-inorganic composite synthetic resin using a highly flame-retardant organically modified nanoparticle, and a production method thereof. The method for producing the organic-inorganic composite synthetic resin using a highly flame-retardant organically modified nanoparticle includes the steps of: adding and stirring metal ion-based phosphinate, melamine cyanurate, and nanoclay to a container containing an aqueous or oily solvent, applying ultrasonic waves and high pressure energy to the stirred solution to prepare a highly flame-retardant organically modified silicate solution through a chemical bonding, and then adding a synthetic resin to form synthetic leather and foam used as life consumer goods to the silicate solution, processing and drying it.

The invention relates to a method for producing a polymer master batch and a polymer composition, wherein the method comprises providing at least one monomer capable of forming a poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid), providing a graphene nano-filler, mixing the monomer and the graphene nano-filler and letting the monomer polymerize in the presence of the graphene nano-filler.
