Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a thiol-terminated compound; an oxidant; and a thermally conductive filler package comprising thermally conductive, electrically insulative filler particles. The thermally conductive, electrically insulative filler particles have a thermal conductivity of at least 5 W/m.Math.K (measured according to ASTM D7984) and a volume resistivity of at least 1 Ω.Math.m (measured according to ASTM D257, C611, or B193) and may be present in an amount of at least 50% by volume based on total volume of the filler package. The thermally conductive filler package may be present in an amount of 15% by volume percent to 90% by volume based on total volume of the composition. The present invention also is directed to a method for treating a substrate and to substrates comprising a layer formed from a composition disclosed herein.

A coated steel sheet has a coating film on at least one side of a plated steel sheet. The coating film contains a binder resin, non-oxide ceramic particles containing V (excluding VC particles), and doped zinc oxide particles. The respective contents of the non-oxide ceramic particles containing V and the doped zinc oxide particles relative to the coating film satisfy the expressions: [(1) C.sub.Zn≥10.0, (2) C.sub.V≤0.5.Math.C.sub.Zn, (3) C.sub.V≤70−C.sub.Zn, (4) C.sub.V≥0.125.Math.C.sub.Zn, and (5) C.sub.V≥2.0], where C.sub.V represents the content (mass %) of the non-oxide ceramic particles containing V, and C.sub.Zn represents the content (mass %) of the doped zinc oxide particles. The coated steel sheet is excellent in both corrosion resistance before electrodeposition coating, and weldability.

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)-polymide (PI) and poly-xylene (PX) nano-composites, in the form of thin films, powder, and mats may be useful as layers in electronic circuits, windows, membranes, and coatings. The processes described chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for coating the BNNTs with polymeric material, specifically PI and PX. The processes rely on surface adsorption of polymeric material onto BNNTs as to modify their surface properties or create a uniform dispersion of polymer around nanotubes. The resulting functionalized BNNTs have numerous valuable applications.
