    [0314] The test was conducted under the following conditions in accordance with JIS C 6481 (1996).

    [0315] The adhesion test piece A was floated in a solder bath at 260° C. for 60 seconds with the surface of the polyimide film up, and the presence or absence of appearance abnormalities such as swelling or peeling of the adhesive layer was visually evaluated. As a result, those in which appearance abnormalities such as microvoids, swelling, or peeling were not confirmed were indicated as “A”, those in which slight microvoids were observed were indicated as “B”, and those in which appearance abnormalities such as swelling and peeling were confirmed were indicated as “C”.

    [0316] Further, the test piece taken out from the solder bath was measured in terms of 180° peel adhesion strength (N/cm) when the gold-plated copper foil was peeled off from the polyimide film at 23° C. in accordance with HS C 6481 (1996). The width of the adhesion test piece during the measurement was 10 mm, and the tensile speed was 50 min/min,

Those in which gelation of the resin composition or liquid separation was confirmed after storage for the predetermined period were regarded as poor in storage stability and evaluated. Even a resin composition that is evaluated as F can be used without any problem by using it immediately after preparation or by avoiding a long-term storage at low temperature.

    [0330] The unit of the numerical value of each component column in composition of the resin composition shown in Table 2 is parts by mass.

    [0331] As is clear from the results shown in Table 2, the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 21 were superior in conductivity compared to the resin compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, even after the long-term storage under environment of high temperature and high humidity.

    [0332] Further, Comparative Example 2, which did not contain the polyester polyurethane resin (A), was poor in moist heat resistance. Comparative Example 3, which did not contain the epoxy resin (B), was poor in solder heat resistance and conductivity. Comparative Example 1, which did not contain the polyimide resin (C), was poor particularly in peel strength and was also poor in solder heat resistance and conductivity.

    [0333] Further, compared to Example 3, in which the content of the polyester polyurethane resin (A) was 8% by mass, Example 1 or the like, in which the content thereof was 10% by mass or more, was superior in moist heat resistance. Compared to Example 2, in which the content of the polyester polyurethane resin (A) was 82% by mass, Example 1 or the like, in which the content thereof was 70% by mass or less, was superior in peel strength and solder heat resistance

    [0334] Further, compared to Examples 1 to 3, which did not contain the organic filler (D), or Example 7, in which the content thereof was less than 5 parts by mass, Example 4 or the like, in which the content of the organic filler (D) was 5 parts by mass or more, was superior in moist heat resistance and conductivity. Compared to Example 6, in which the content of the organic filler (D) was 45 parts by mass, Example 4 or the like, in which the content thereof was 40 parts by mass or less, was superior in peel strength. In particular, the addition of the urethane filler resulted in better affinity with the resin, and superior conductivity and liquid stability.

    [0335] Further, compared to Example 8, which did not contain the imidazole silane compound (E), Example 1 or the like, in which the content thereof was 0.1% by mass or more, was superior in peel strength, moist heat resistance, or conductivity. Compared to Example 10, in which the content of the imidazole silane compound (E) was 15% by mass, Example 1 or the like, in which the content thereof was 10% by mass or less, was superior in liquid stability.

    [0336] Compared to Example 9, in which only the bisphenol A type epoxy resin was formulated as the epoxy resin (B), Example 1 or the like, which contained both the bisphenol A type epoxy resin and the novolac type epoxy resin, was superior in conductivity.

    [0337] Compared to Example 16, which used a7 having a number average molecular weight of 9,000 as the polyester polyurethane resin (A), Example 1 or the like, which used a polyester polyurethane resin (A) having a number average molecular weight of 10,000 or more, was superior in solder heat resistance and moist heat resistance.

    [0338] Further, compared to Example 13, which used a4 having a molecular weight per urethane bond in the polyester polyurethane resin (A) of 160, Example 1 or the like, which used one having a molecular weight per urethane bond of from 200 to 8,000, was superior in liquid stability and moist heat resistance. Compared to Example 12, which used a3 having a molecular weight per urethane bond of 10,700, Example 1 or the like was superior in peel strength, solder heat resistance, and conductivity.

    [0339] The use of a polyester polyurethane with lower acid value resulted in superior solder heat resistance to the use of a polyester polyurethane with higher acid value.

    [0340] Further, compared to Example 18, in which the content of the metal filler (F) was 9 parts by mass, Example 1 or the like, in which the content of the metal filler was from 10 parts by mass to 350 parts by mass, was superior in conductivity.

    [0341] Compared to Example 19, in which the content of the metal filler (F) was 360 parts by mass, Example 1 or the like, in which the content of the metal filler was from 10 parts by mass to 350 parts by mass, was superior in liquid stability.
