A resin complex which is capable of being plated, is highly hydrophobic, and has excellent molding properties and good adhesion to a plated layer, a laminate including a layer of the resin complex, and a method of manufacturing the laminate are provided. The resin complex capable of being plated includes a hydrophobic compound A having a functional group capable of interacting with a plating catalyst, its precursor or a metal, and a hydrophobic resin B incompatible with the hydrophobic compound A. The resin complex has a phase-separated morphology in which the hydrophobic compound A forms a dispersed phase and the hydrophobic resin B forms a continuous phase and the hydrophobic compound A is exposed on at least part of a surface of the resin complex. |
