A resin composition capable of achieving a printed wiring board or the like excellent in heat dissipation properties, water absorption properties, copper foil peel strength, and heat resistance after moisture absorption is provided. A prepreg, a laminate, a metal foil clad laminate, a printed wiring board and the like, which use the resin composition are also provided. The resin composition of the present invention having at least an epoxy resin, a cyanate ester compound, and an inorganic filler, wherein the inorganic filler includes at least a surface-treated silicon carbide of a silicon carbide powder having at least a part of the surface treated with an inorganic oxide.

Fabrics made for apparel, tents, sleeping bags and the like, in various composites, constructed such that a combination of substrate layers and insulation layers is configured to provide improved thermal insulation. The fabric composites are constructed to form a radiant barrier against heat loss via radiation and via conduction from a body.

A laminate with superior thermal conductivity, heat resistance, drill workability, and fire retardancy is provided. In a prepreg obtained by impregnating a woven or nonwoven fabric base with a thermosetting resin composition, the thermosetting resin composition contains 80 to 200 parts by volume of an inorganic filler per 100 parts by volume of a thermosetting resin, the inorganic filler contains (A) gibbsite type aluminum hydroxide particles having an average particle diameter (D.sub.50) of 2 to 15 μm and (B) magnesium oxide having an average particle diameter (D.sub.50) of 0.5 to 15 μm, and a compounding ratio (volume ratio) of the gibbsite type aluminum hydroxide particles (A) to the magnesium oxide (B) is 1:0.3 to 3.

A primer-less coating composition for facestock comprises: a binder being a water-dispersible polymer; an ethylenically unsaturated compound which is aqueous-dispersible and miscible with or bonded to said water-dispersible polymer, wherein said ethylenically unsaturated compound is able to form a covalent bond with an ink; and a crosslinker, wherein said crosslinker is suitable for binding the coating to the facestock. The coating composition may be applied to a substrate to form a printable film. A printed film in accordance with the invention may be used in a label, for example for use on a container such as a bottle.
