Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite material where magnetic powder and heat conductive filler coexist in a resin matrix. The heat conductive filler (such as metal particles or ceramic particles) compensates for the heat conductivity reduction caused by magnetic powder, while the magnetic powder provides electromagnetic wave absorption. Both functions are achieved simultaneously through proper material composition.
