The present invention relates to active and intelligent additives having hybrid characteristics, that are compatible with polymers, are thermally and mechanically stable, are capable of releasing electrons and/or photons in the presence of chemical compounds, specifically amino compounds, amide compounds, oxygen reducing compounds, water or vapors thereof. The active and intelligent additives incorporate themselves into polymer matrices allowing the obtainment of active and intelligent polymeric articles. These active and intelligent polymeric articles may act as inhibitors of growth of microorganisms and fungi, as well as indicators of the presence of gasses, either in the atmosphere or caused by the decomposition of foodstuffs, for example.

An electroconductive resin composite having excellent impact strength, in which an impact modifier and an electroconductive filler are dispersed in a matrix resin, is provided. The impact modifier has an average particle size of 5 μm or less and is dispersed in a domain form in a polyamide matrix resin, and the number of agglomerates of the filler in which a longest diameter of an agglomerate particle is 10 μm or more is 50 or less, in 50 scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of an area of 0.5 mm×0.35 mm, captured at 250× magnification.
