A resin composition comprising:

• an epoxy resin;
• and
• a hardener comprising a melamine compound of Formula I:
• wherein,
• R is the same with or different from each other and has the formula of
• R1 is independently selected from a group consisting of H, C1-C15 alkyl optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C1-C15 alkoxy optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C3-C15 cycloalkyl optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C6-C20 aryl optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C6-C20 aryloxy optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, and a dicyclopentadiene group;
• R2 is selected from a group consisting of C1-C15 alkyl optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C1-C15 alkoxy optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C3-C15 cycloalkyl optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C6-C20 aryl optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy, C6-C20 aryloxy optionally substituted by an alkyl or alkoxy and a dicyclopentadiene group;
• and
