Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a coating composition that includes a polymer material comprising an electrically conductive polymer; and a coated or partially coated magnetic material comprising a magnetic material and an antioxidant material. Aspects of the present disclosure further provide a method of making a coating composition that includes introducing, under first conditions, a magnetic material to a passivation solution comprising an antioxidant to form a coated (or partially coated) magnetic material; and introducing, under second conditions, the coated (or partially coated) magnetic material to a mixture comprising a polymer material to form a coating composition. Aspects of the present disclosure further provide a coated substrate that includes a film and a substrate, the film including a coating composition that includes an electrically conductive polymer, a magnetic material, and an antioxidant.
