Abstract: A flexible printed-circuit board is covered imagewise with a polymer film as a cover layer to improve the flexibility of the board. The cover layer is formed by laminating a photoprintable, photosensitive layer supported on a flexible support to the surface of a flexible printed-circuit board, exposing the photosensitive layer imagewise to light to form a polymer image in the layer and removing the unexposed areas of the layer to leave an imaged polymer film on the surface of the board. The formation of the cover layer can be easily conducted by a continuous operation.

Abstract: A polyester resin, polyester-imide resin or polyester-amide-imide resin dissolved in a solvent containing 60% by weight or more of at least one polyhydric alcohol derivative selected from the group consisting of R.sub.1 COO(CHR.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n H, R.sub.1 COO(CHR.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n COR.sub.3, R.sub.1 O(CHR.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n COR.sub.3 and R.sub.1 O(CHR.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n R.sub.4, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently lower alkyl, aryl or aralkyl; R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl; and n is an integer of 1 to 3, gives an electrical insulating coating having excellent storage stability and high resin concentration without causing defects of phenols when used as a solvent.

Abstract: An electrical insulating resin composition comprising a resin obtained by reacting (a) one or more tri- or higher polyhydric alcohols and/or tri- or higher polybasic acids, (b) one or more dihydric alcohols, (c) one or more dibasic acids, (d) one or more monobasic acids containing one or more aromatic rings in the molecule, and/or (e) one or more monohydric alcohols containing one or more aromatic rings in the molecule, and if desired (f) one or more compounds containing or being able to form one or more 5-membered imide rings, can give high solids varnishes without lowering the molecular weight of the resin produced.
