  • Publication number: 20240116840
    Abstract: An object is to provide a compound that can be a novel curing agent. The compound suppresses volatilization of the curing agent that can lead to a decrease in function of a prepreg, contamination of equipment for producing the prepreg, and in addition a decrease in production yield of the prepreg, and further contributes to improving dielectric properties. As a solution, a tris(allyl ether) compound represented by general formula (1) below is provided.
