Abstract

A process for preparing a thermosetting maleimide type prepolymer which comprises reacting (A) a polyfunctional maleimide compound, (B) a bis-maleimide, (C) a diamine and (D) an epoxy compound. The maleimide type prepolymer prepared according to the process of the present invention has rapid curability and excellent solubility in low boiling point solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl cellosolve, which are available at low cost. Accordingly, the prepolymer is advantageously used especially for the production of laminated boards having good heat resisting properties, low moisture absorption and good adhesion to various substrates such as a copper foil.
