A polyphenylene ether resin composition contains a modified polyphenylene ether copolymer and a high-molecular-weight compound. The modified polyphenylene ether copolymer is obtained by modifying a polyphenylene ether copolymer at a phenolic hydroxy group of a molecular chain end with a substituent having a carbon-carbon unsaturated double bond. The high-molecular-weight compound has a glass transition temperature (Tg) measured by differential scanning calorimetry of 20 C. or lower and has a number-average molecular weight Mn ranging from 1000 to 10000, inclusive. In a cured state of the polyphenylene ether resin composition, the modified polyphenylene ether copolymer is phase separated from the high-molecular-weight compound.

Wood derived multilayer glued or laminated product having an integrated electric circuit, comprising a paper layer and conducting elements of conductive ink deposited on said paper layer, said elements being suitable for forming an electric circuit and said paper layer has a rugosity inferior to 60 m. The paper layer may be of kraft paper. The product may comprise one or more additional kraft paper layers, in particular having a hole for receiving electric components such that the top surface of product remains flat. The product may include a fibreboard substrate of MDF. The paper layer may be a decorative paper layer glued with the circuit facing the substrate. The manufacture process comprises depositing conductive ink elements on a paper layer having rugosity inferior to 60 m for forming an electric circuit; and incorporating, by gluing or laminating, said paper layer into the multilayer product.

Disclosed is a printed circuit board, to which at least one circuit device is mountable, including a base layer with a plurality of paper layers; a waterproof insulation layer laid on a first surface of the base layer; a copper foil layer laid on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the base layer and printed with a signal line pattern connectable with the at least one circuit device; and an adhesive layer configured to be interposed between the base layer and the copper foil layer that includes an adhesive material for adhering the base layer and the copper foil layer.

The invention concerns a method of removing encapsulating material from encapsulated particles deposited onto a substrate. According to the method, a substrate is used which is capable of facilitating said removal of encapsulating material. The particles may be nanoparticles. In particular, the substrate-facilitated removal may result in sintering of the particles. The invention provides a novel way of functionalizing electronic structures using particulate matter and for conveniently producing e.g. printed electronics devices.

Biodegradable printed circuit boards, or PCBs, may be produced from substrate sheets that include at least one biodegradable polymer. In addition, the electrical traces used on the PCBs, may also include a biodegradable polymer incorporated with an electrically conductive material. The PCBs may be composted to degrade the PCBs, and the
