Abstract
Abstract Thermosetting resin compositions of the present invention comprises a thermosetting resin and a specified class of cured polyorganosiloxane resins dispersed as extremely fine particles in the thermosetting resin. Moldings and other shaped articles prepared using these compositions are flexible and exhibit small coefficients of thermal expansion and low shrinkage during molding.
