There are provided a resin composition including: (a) a maleimide compound with at least two N-substituted maleimide groups per molecular structure; and (b) a silicone compound with at least one amino group per molecular structure and also provided a prepreg, a laminated plate, and a printed wiring board that are formed by using this resin composition. The multi-layered printed wiring board produced by using the laminated plate produced by laminating and molding the prepreg obtained from the resin composition of the present invention has excellent glass transition temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, solder heat resistance, and warp characteristics. The multi-layered printed wiring board is useful as a highly integrated printed wiring board for an electronic device.
