An aliphatic
polyketone fiber paper comprising aliphatic
polyketone fibers and a
polyketone fiber paper core material for a printed wiring board are provided. The polyketone
fiber paper and the core material have high strength and modulus of elasticity; excellent dimensional stability,
chemical resistance,
heat resistance, adhesiveness and electrical insulation; and low dielectricity and water
absorbance, and are thin, porous, and uniform. A printed wiring board prepared from the core material having a low
dielectric constant, dimensional stability, electrical insulation, and properties of being uniformly bored by
laser punching is also provided. The aliphatic polyketone fiber paper and the core material for a printed wiring board comprises 1 to 100% by
mass of aliphatic polyketone fibers which comprise the repeating unit of the below-mentioned formula (1), the fibers having an average fiber length of 0.5 to 10 mm, an average
fiber diameter of 0.1 to 20 [mu]m, a thickness of 5 to 200 [mu]m, a
void ratio of 30 to 90%, and a strength per
unit mass of 100 MN / kg or more. Also provided is a single layer or multilayer printed wiring board which comprises a core material impregnated or coated with a
polymer resin, a low
dielectric polymer resin, or a polyphenylene
ether-based
epoxy resin. -CH 2 -CH 2 -CO- (1).
