The present application provides a resin component, and a prepreg and a circuit material using the same. The resin component comprises unsaturated polyphenylene ether resin, polyolefin resin, terpene resin and an initiator. When the total weight of the unsaturated polyphenylene ether resin, polyolefin resin and terpene resin is defined as 100 parts by weight, the terpene resin is in an amount of 3-40 parts by weight. The polyolefin resin is one or a combination of at least two selected from the group consisting of unsaturated polybutadiene resin, SBS resin and styrene butadiene resin. The present application discloses that the resulting resin composition has good film-forming properties, adhesion and dielectric properties through the coordination of unsaturated polyphenylene ether resin, unsaturated polyphenylene ether resin, polyolefin resin and terpene resin, and the circuit boards using the same have higher interlayer peel strength and lower dielectric loss.

The invention relates to compositions and methods of treatment employing compositions comprising polyelectrolyte complexes. The compositions include a water-soluble first polyelectrolyte bearing a net cationic charge or capable of developing a net cationic charge and a water-soluble second polyelectrolyte bearing a net anionic charge or capable of developing a net anionic charge. The total polyelectrolyte concentration of the first solution is at least 110 millimolar. The composition is free of coacervates, precipitates, latex particles, synthetic block copolymers, silicone copolymers, cross-linked poly(acrylic) and cross-linked water-soluble polyelectrolyte. The composition may be a concentrate, to be diluted prior to use to treat a surface.

A polybenzoxazine sulfide has repeating units including at least one unit corresponding to formula (I) or (II): ##STR00001##
in which the two oxazine rings are connected together via a central aromatic group, the benzene ring of which bears one, two, three or four groups of formula —S.sub.x—R in which “x” is an integer from 1 to 8 and R represents hydrogen or a hydrocarbon-based group including 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally a heteroatom chosen from O, S, N and P. Such a polybenzoxazine can be used as an adhesive layer on metal, in particular for the adhesive bonding of a metallic substrate, in particular made of carbon steel, to rubber.
