The disclosure relates to polymers including one or more 1,1-disubstitued alkene monomers. By employing a plurality of monomers and/or tailored chain structure, polymers having improved combinations of properties are achieved. The polymer may be a copolymer, preferably including two or more 1,1-disubstituted alkene monomers. The polymer may be a homopolymer having a tailored chain structure.

The resin composition incudes a polymer compound represented by the formula (1), where in formula (1), R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and m and n represent the average numbers of repeating units, and are each independently in the range between 1 and 2000 inclusive; a compound that can radically polymerize with the polymer compound; and a radical initiator. The compound that can radically polymerize with the polymer compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of phenylmaleimide compounds, acenaphthylene compounds, modified polyphenylene ether resins having an unsaturated double bond at an end, and aryl isocyanurate compounds.
