A structure body having the constitution in which the crystals of a
brittle material such as a ceramic, a metalloid and the like and the
crystals or the microstructures (the microstructure bodies composed of
amorphous metal layers and an organic substance) of a ductile material
such as a metal and the like are dispersed, the structure bodies (the
portion composed of the brittle material) are polycrystalline, the
crystals constituting the structure bodies substantially lack the
crystalline orientation, and boundary layers composed of glassy
substances are substantially absent in the boundary face between the
crystals. It is thereby possible to obtain a structure body having novel
characteristics, composed of a brittle material and a ductile material,
without involving a heating/sintering process.
