A block copolymer consists mainly of structural units each derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and has at least one mercapto group. The block copolymer has an Mn of 5,000-500,000 and has a block structure, which is an A-B-A triblock structure or a star-shaped block structure of [A-B]qX. The q is an integer of 2-6. The polymer block (A) has a glass transition temperature of 20° C. or higher. The polymer block (B) of the triblock structure has a glass transition temperature lower than 20° C., and the [polymer block (B)]qX of the star-shaped block structure has a glass transition temperature lower than 20° C. The X is an initiator residue or/and a coupling-agent residue or is a derivative thereof.

Provided are a thermosetting resin composition and a prepreg, laminate and printed circuit board using same. The thermosetting resin composition comprises a resin component, the resin component comprising a modified cyclic olefin copolymer having a structure as shown in formula I and another unsaturated resin. By introducing a methacrylate end group having a certain polarity into a cyclic olefin copolymer, a modified cyclic olefin copolymer is formed. The modified cyclic olefin copolymer can form a thermosetting material by means of cross-linking with itself or another unsaturated resin, whereby the bonding property can be significantly improved while retaining the excellent dielectric properties of the cyclic olefin copolymer itself. The laminate prepared using the thermosetting resin composition has good dielectric properties, a good peel strength and a good heat resistance, and can meet all the performance requirements for printed circuit board substrates in the current high-frequency and high-speed communication field.

The present invention relates to an optical film exhibiting excellent optical properties such as low gloss value and reflectance, and an appropriate level of haze properties, and to an image display device including the same. The optical film comprises: a light-transmitting substrate film; an antiglare layer including a binder containing a (meth)acrylate-based crosslinked polymer, and organic fine particles of a micron (μm) scale dispersed on the binder and inorganic fine particles of a nanometer (nm) scale dispersed on the binder; and a low refractive index layer which is formed on the antiglare layer and includes a binder resin containing a (co)polymer of a photopolymerizable compound, and hollow silica particles dispersed in the binder resin, wherein the organic and inorganic fine particles exhibit a predetermined particle size distribution, refractive index difference, and content range.

The invention relates to a laminate comprising a first layer and a second layer directly covering the first layer, the first layer being a layer of a silicone rubber composition comprising a micrometric silicone powder and a mixture of crosslinkable organopolysiloxanes, the second layer being a layer of a silicone rubber composition comprising a hydrophobic silica and a mixture of crosslinkable organopolysiloxanes, the first layer and the second layer being crosslinked. The laminate, in particular when it is used as a coating for the outer surface of an expandable bladder for a tyre curing mould, makes it possible to eliminate moulding defects on the inner liner of the tyre.
