Disclosed herein is a resin composition, comprising: a crosslinking agent, its prepolymer, or a combination thereof; and a first unsaturated bond-containing resin. The resin composition may be used to make various articles, such as a prepreg, a resin film, a resin-coated copper, a laminate or a printed circuit board and achieve improvement in at least one, more or all properties including volatile content of prepreg, stickiness of prepreg, resin filling property of prepreg, glass transition temperature, dimensional stability under heat, T288 thermal resistance, thermal resistance after moisture absorption, dielectric constant and dissipation factor.
