A resin composition is provided including: coated particles, each including a core containing a metal oxide and a coating layer containing an aluminum hydrous oxide and provided on a surface of the core; and a resin. The metal oxide is represented by MO, where M represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ba, Ti, Sr, Pb, Zr, La, Ta, Ca, and Bi, and x and y each represent a number determined from a stoichiometric ratio according to the valence of the metal element M. The resin composition has an atomic ratio Al/(M+Al) of 0.05 or more and 0.7 or less, as determined by XPS for the particles contained in the resin composition.

Herein disclosed is 6 indium tin oxide (ITO) fine powder whose crystal form is a corundum type one and which has a true specific gravity of not less than 6.5 g/cc, a green density of not less than 3.0 g/cc, and a Seebeck coefficient of less than 30 .mu.V/cc at ordinary temperature and less than 80 .mu.V/cc after heating at 200.degree. C. The ITO fine powder can be prepared by a method which comprises the steps of neutralizing an aqueous solution containing an indium salt and a tin salt with ammonia to thus control the pH of the reaction solution to the range of from 6.8 to 7.5; separating the resulting neutralized precipitates through filtration; drying and washing the precipitates; calcining the precipitates in the air at a temperature ranging from 550 to 700.degree. C.; and then reducing-burning at a temperature ranging from 350 to 450.degree. C. in a reducing atmosphere.

A fibrous electrically-conductive filler herein provided comprises fibrous aluminum borate as a core material provided thereon with, in order, an optional titanium oxide intermediate layer and an antimony-free tin oxide layer. The fibrous electrically-conductive filler can be prepared by a method which comprises the steps of optionally forming an intermediate layer of titanium oxide by depositing titanium oxide hydrate on the surface of the core material and then calcining the titanium oxide hydrate layer; then forming a coating layer of tin oxide hydrate on the surface of the titanium oxide-coated fibrous aluminum borate or the fibrous aluminum borate as a core material and then calcining the coating layer at a temperature ranging from 150.degree. to 600.degree. C. in an inert gas atmosphere or a reducing atmosphere to form an antimony-free tin oxide layer. The fibrous electrically-conductive filler is excellent in whiteness, non-toxic and cheap, has electrical conductivity stable to temperature and humidity changes, has a low volume resistivity, is excellent in a electrical conductivity-imparting effect per unit weight and can accordingly be incorporated into various basic materials such as paper, plastics, rubbers, resins, fibers and paints and varnishes for imparting electrical conductivity to these substances.
