The invention discloses a carbon nanotube/polyetherimide/thermosetting resin dielectric composite and a preparation method therefor. 100 parts by weight of polyetherimide and 1-7 parts by weight of carbon nanotube are mixed uniformly in an Haake torque melt cavity to obtain a carbon nanotubes/polyetherimide composite; 20 parts of the carbon nanotube/polyetherimide composite are dissolved in 100-150 parts of dichloromethane, then the mixed solution is added in 100 parts of molten thermocurable thermosetting resin, mixing, and heat preserving, stirring are performed until a mixture is formed in a uniform state, and curing and post-treating are performed to obtain a carbon nanotube/thermosetting resin dielectric composite, wherein the substrate thereof has a typical reverse phase structure, while the carbon nanotubes are dispersed in a polyetherimide phase. The composite has a relatively low percolation threshold, a high dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss. The preparation method of the present invention has a simple process and is suitable for large-scale production.

Disclosed is a composite of a particulate and polymer, the composite characterized by less than enough polymer to fully occupy the available excluded volume of the particulate of the composite. The resulting composite is characterized by the particulate partially covered by the polymer leaving a substantial surface area uncovered.

A building assembly can include a substrate and a water barrier coating film. The water barrier coating film can include a thermoplastic polymer and microporous particles, such as microporous glass beads. The water barrier coating film can provide a good protection towards liquid water but may allow water vapor flow from the substrate through the coating film. The water vapor permeability of the water barrier coating film can be at least 2 US perms as tested according to ASTM E96 (2014) at 21° C. and 50% average relative humidity.
