Abstract
Abstract The water permeability of cured thermosetting organic resin compositions is reduced and the dimensional stability of these compositions during molding is improved by the addition to the curable resin composition of a finely divided, cured organosiloxane material prepared from a curable organopolysiloxane, a curing agent for the organopolysiloxane, an optional silica filler and an aromatic hydrocarbon compound containing a substituted benzene ring where the substituent is a monovalent ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon radical or an alkenyloxy radical.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A thermosetting resin composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a continuous phase comprising a thermosetting organic resin or a thermosetting silicone resin and (B) from 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of a finely divided dispersed phase consisting essentially of the product obtained by curing a composition comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a curable organopolysiloxane having a viscosity of at least 0.01 Pa.s at 25 degrees C. (ii) from 0 to 100 parts by weight of a filler, (iii) from 0.3 to 100 parts by weight of a curing agent for said organopolysiloxane, said curing agent being selected from the group consisting of organohydrogensiloxanes in the presence of a platinum-containing hydrosilation catalyst, organic peroxides and organosilanes containing hydrolyzable groups, and (iv) from 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon compound comprising a benzene ring having at least on substituent selected from monovalent ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals or alkenyloxy radicals, or mixtures of said compound with the proviso that (1) when the curing agent is an organohydrogenpolysiloxane it can be present as a mixture with said aromatic hydrocarbon compound or as the reaction product of said organohydrogenpolysiloxane and said hydrocarbon compound, and said organopolysiloxane contains at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups per molecule, and when said curing agent is an organosilane containing hydrolyzable groups said organopolysiloxane contains silicon-bonded hydroxyl or alkoxy groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
229 words
A thermosetting resin composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a continuous phase comprising a thermosetting organic resin or a thermosetting silicone resin and (B) from 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of a finely divided dispersed phase consisting essentially of the product obtained by curing a composition comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a curable organopolysiloxane having a viscosity of at least 0.01 Pa.s at 25 degrees C. (ii) from 0 to 100 parts by weight of a filler, (iii) from 0.3 to 100 parts by weight of a curing agent for said organopolysiloxane, said curing agent being selected from the group consisting of organohydrogensiloxanes in the presence of a platinum-containing hydrosilation catalyst, organic peroxides and organosilanes containing hydrolyzable groups, and (iv) from 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon compound comprising a benzene ring having at least on substituent selected from monovalent ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals or alkenyloxy radicals, or mixtures of said compound with the proviso that (1) when the curing agent is an organohydrogenpolysiloxane it can be present as a mixture with said aromatic hydrocarbon compound or as the reaction product of said organohydrogenpolysiloxane and said hydrocarbon compound, and said organopolysiloxane contains at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups per molecule, and when said curing agent is an organosilane containing hydrolyzable groups said organopolysiloxane contains silicon-bonded hydroxyl or alkoxy groups.
