Abstract
Abstract The material obtained by coating a small plate substrate with a metal oxide doped with different metals is light permeable as well as conductive, wherein said plate substrate is selected from mica, illite, bravaisite, kaolinite, bentonite, montmorillonite, smectites, calcium phosphate and glass particle and its ratio of major axis to minor axis is 1-30 and its ratio of minor axis to thickness is 5 or more. This material is useful as the additive for providing a transparent film with conductivity.
