A resin composition contains a cyanate ester compound, a maleimide compound, an epoxy resin, a silicone rubber powder, and an inorganic filler. The cyanate ester compound contains a compound represented by the following formula. The silicone rubber powder is contained in an amount of 40 to 150 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass in total of the cyanate ester compound, the maleimide compound, and the epoxy resin. The inorganic filler is contained in an amount of 100 to 340 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass in total of the cyanate ester compound, the maleimide compound, and the epoxy resin. A total content of the silicone rubber powder and the inorganic filler is 140 to 380 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass in total of the cyanate ester compound, the maleimide compound, and the epoxy resin. 

Resin composition, prepreg, and laminate

This invention relates to a prepreg having a low thermal expansion coefficient in plane direction and a high rigidity, and more particularly to a prepreg comprising a glass cloth (A), and a resin composition including a cyanate ester resin (B), a non-halogen based epoxy resin (C) and an inorganic filler (D), wherein the glass cloth (A) is characterized that when the weight per 1 mis W (g/m), the thickness is t (&#x3bc;m), the number of warp threads per inch is X (thread/inch), and the number of weft threads per inch is Y (thread/inch), the total of X and Y is 150 to 240, t is 17 to 35, and the value of W/t as the apparent density is 1.1 to 1.5, and that the volume fraction of the glass cloth (A) in the prepreg is 32% to 42%.

Prepreg and laminate

This invention relates to a method for storing a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin solution, which is difficult to precipitate due to long term storage in a solution state, and particularly relates to a method for storing a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin solution (AB), which comprises: preparing (i) a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin solution (AB) comprising a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin (A), a maleimide compound (B) and a solvent, (ii) a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin solution (AB) comprising a prepolymer of a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin (A), a maleimide compound (B) and a solvent, or (iii) a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin solution (AB) comprising a prepolymer of a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin (A) and a maleimide compound (B), and a solvent, and; storing the resin solution (AB).

Method for storing resin solution, and method for producing prepreg and laminate

A prepreg for a printed wiring board, comprising a cyanate ester resin having a specific structure, a non-halogen epoxy resin, a silicone rubber powder as a rubber elasticity powder, an inorganic filler and a base material, which prepreg retains heat resistance owing to a stiff resin skeleton structure, has high-degree flame retardancy without the use of a halogen compound or a phosphorus compound as a flame retardant, and has a small thermal expansion coefficient in plane direction without using a large amount of inorganic filler, and a laminate comprising the above prepreg.

A prepreg, for printed wiring boards, comprising a flame resistant resin composition containing a specific cyanate ester resin, a nonhalogen epoxy resin, boehmite which is hardly soluble in acids or alkalis and a silicone powder which is a flame retardant assistant, and a base material, which prepreg retains high-degree flame resistance without a halogen compound and has excellent resistance to chemical, high glass transition temperature, excellent soldering heat resistance and excellent heat resistance after moisture absorption, and a laminate or metal-foil-clad laminate obtained by curing the above prepreg.
