The invention relates to a photo-cured nanometer composite material which consists of 0 to 64 weight percent of film forming substance, 1 to 60 weight percent of inorganic nanometer particles, 1 to 56 weight percent of active thinner, 1 to 9.3 weight percent of evocating agent, 0 to 8 weight percent of coating additive and 0 to 31 weight percent of solvent. The manufacturing method comprises the following steps: (1) the prepared photo-cured nanometer composite material is counted by 100 weight percent; according to the proportion, each composition is weighed; (2) through a sol-gel method, a mechanical dispersion method or the combination of two methods, the inorganic nanometer particles are introduced to the active thinner to obtain a mixed master material; and (3) the mixed master material, an oligomer, the evocating agent, the coating additive and the solvent are mixed and evenly stirred to prepare the photocuring nanometer composite material. The photocuring nanometer composite material has the characteristics of high content of nanometer particles, good levelling performance, high transparency, good lustrousness, high adhesive force with a polymer substrate, high rigidity, scratching resistance, ultraviolet resistance and the like.
