Abstract: The present invention provides a phenol resin having, as a unit in its main-chain skeleton, a structure represented by the following general formula (I), as well as a resin composition using the same. According to the phenol resin of the invention, epoxylation thereof, chemical modification thereof, reaction thereof with an epoxy resin, and the like are facilitated. Phenol resins ranging from low-molecular-weight resins rich in fluidity to high-melting resins can be synthesized, and these phenol resins are industrially useful. When the phenol resin of the present invention is used as a hardening agent for epoxy resin etc., its resin composition can give a cured product of high Tg without deteriorating adhesiveness.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electroconductive paste that can contain a high proportion of an electroconductive powder, has excellent electroconductivity reliability and migration resistance, has a highly competitive price due to a reduced amount of silver plating, and is suitable for use in solder electrode formation, an electroconductive adhesive, etc. The electroconductive paste of the present invention comprises a binder and an electroconductive powder containing 80 to 97 wt % of a substantially spherical silver-coated copper powder in which the surface of a copper powder is coated with silver and the surface thereof is further coated with 0.02 to 0.5 wt % relative to the copper powder of a fatty acid, and 3 to 20 wt % of a flat-shaped silver-coated copper powder in which the surface of a copper powder is coated with silver and the surface thereof is further coated with 0.02 to 1.2 wt % relative to the copper powder of a fatty acid.
