| abstract |
A carboxyl group-containing photosensitive resin is obtained by reacting an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated group-containing monocarboxylic acid (c) with a phenolic compound (a) containing the structure represented by the following general formula (I) and having at least two phenolic hydroxyl groups in its molecule, wherein part or the whole of the phenolic hydroxyl groups being modified into an oxyalkyl group, and further reacting a polybasic acid anhydride (d) with the resultant reaction product; n nwherein R 1 represents either one of a hydrocarbon radical of 1 to 11 carbon atoms, a SO 2 group, an oxygen atom and sulfur atom, R 2 represents a hydrocarbon radical of 1 to 11 carbon atoms, “a” represents an integer of 0 to 3, “n” represents an integer of 1 to 2, and “m” represents an integer of 1 to 10. |
