Thermoset polymers of styrene terminated tetrakis phenols may be prepared from resins which possess the generic formula (I), in which R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl and substituted alkaryl radicals and X is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms. Optionally, such polymers may also include a compound having a pendant vinyl group. These polymers will be utilized as a component in laminates on circuit boards which are employed in relatively complicated pieces of electronic equipment. |
