A composite material comprising a metallic substrate and a coating on at least one side of the metallic substrate, wherein the coating comprises an acrylic or styrene-acrylic based polymer and is less than about 0.2 mils thick, wherein the polymer has a molecular weight of 50,000 to 1,000,000, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 50-80° C., and comprises 90-100 wt. % of the total solids in the coating. The method of applying a coating to a metal substrate using a manifold flood and squeegee roll configuration or alternatively roll coater techniques; wherein the roll hardness, shape, pressure and speed are chosen to ensure that the coating composition forms a continuous wet film on the metallic substrate surfaces when the strip travels at up to 600 feet per minute; and the wet film has a uniform thickness of 2 mil (0.002 inch) or less.

An undercoat agent including a block copolymer having a plurality of blocks bonded formed on a substrate. The undercoat agent contains a resin component that includes a structural unit having an aromatic ring and a structural unit having no aromatic ring, and the resin component includes a group which can interact with the substrate and does not include a 3 to 7-membered, ether-containing cyclic group; and a method of forming a pattern of a layer containing a block copolymer. The method includes applying an undercoat agent to a substrate to form a layer containing the undercoat agent; forming a layer containing a block copolymer having multiple blocks bonded on a surface of the layer containing the undercoat agent, followed by a phase separation of the layer containing the block copolymer; and selectively removing a phase containing at least one block of multiple blocks constituting the block copolymer.
