Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A thermosetting epoxy resin composition comprising a mixture of (a) 100 parts by weight of epoxy resin; (b) 1 to 100 parts by weight of a curing agent for the epoxy resin composition; (c) 1 to 100 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane composition which is a block copolymer containing at least one linear polysiloxane block and at least one resinous polysiloxane block wherein there is present in the block copolymer (i) 10 to 90 weight percent of linear organopolysiloxane blocks having the unit formula --R 2 SiO-- n and (ii) 90 to 10 weight percent of resinous organopolysiloxane blocks, the weight percents being based on the total weight of (i) and (ii) in the block copolymer, wherein R is independently selected from substituted and unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon groups having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; n is an integer with a value of about 10 to 100; the solvent solution viscosity of the block copolymer being at least 30 centipoise at 25° C. for a 40 weight percent solution: the parts of (b) and (c) being based on 100 parts of (a).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
183 words
A thermosetting epoxy resin composition comprising a mixture of (a) 100 parts by weight of epoxy resin; (b) 1 to 100 parts by weight of a curing agent for the epoxy resin composition; (c) 1 to 100 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane composition which is a block copolymer containing at least one linear polysiloxane block and at least one resinous polysiloxane block wherein there is present in the block copolymer (i) 10 to 90 weight percent of linear organopolysiloxane blocks having the unit formula --R 2 SiO-- n and (ii) 90 to 10 weight percent of resinous organopolysiloxane blocks, the weight percents being based on the total weight of (i) and (ii) in the block copolymer, wherein R is independently selected from substituted and unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon groups having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; n is an integer with a value of about 10 to 100; the solvent solution viscosity of the block copolymer being at least 30 centipoise at 25° C. for a 40 weight percent solution: the parts of (b) and (c) being based on 100 parts of (a).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A composition as claimed in claim 2 wherein there is present (a) 100 parts by weight of the epoxy resin; (b) 30 parts by weight of the curing agent, and (c) 30 parts by weight of the organopolysiloxane copolymer.
