Abstract
Abstract A curable resin composition which can give cured products of superior impact resistance, superior flexibility, thermal shock resistance, storage stability and adhesiveness, and which comprises A. either (1) a polyepoxide compound containing at least two 1,2-epoxy groups per molecule or (2) an unsaturated polyester having a molecular weight of 500 to 5,000. B. a specified aromatic copolyester having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000 and C. either (1) a curing agent for the polyepoxide compound (A-1) or (2) an ethylenic monomer copolymerizable with the unsaturated polyester (A-2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A curable epoxy resin composition comprising (a) a polyepoxide compound containing at least two 1,2-epoxy groups per molecule, (b) 1 to 10% by weight, based on the polyepoxide compound (A) of an aromatic copolyester having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000 and composed of recurring units of formula (I) and recurring units of formula (II) ##STR20## wherein R is a residue resulting from the removal of carboxyl groups from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid; D is a residue resulting from the removal of hydroxyl groups from a glycol containing 2 to 15 carbon atoms; G is a residue resulting from the removal of the terminal hydroxyl group from a long-chain poly(alkylene oxide) glycol having a number average molecular weight of 350 to 6,000; and x/x+ y is from 0.2 to 0.8, (c) a curing agent for the polyepoxide compound (A).
