1. A composition comprising:
a thermoplastic polymer, wherein the thermoplastic polymer has a glass transition temperature greater than or equal to about 100° C.; and
nanoparticles; wherein the nanoparticles comprise a substrate upon which is disposed a coating composition; wherein the substrate has a different dielectric constant from that of the coating composition; and
wherein the composition has a breakdown resistance of greater than or equal to about 200 volts/micrometer.
