Abstract

Abstract The curable resin composition of the present invention consists of a curable resin and the spherical microparticles of cured silicone rubber obtained by the curing of an addition reacting silicone rubber composition, wherein the silicone rubber composition also contains an epoxy compound having an aliphatically unsaturated group. Furthermore, because the microparticles are prepared from an aqueous emulsion or aqueous dispersion of the silicone rubber composition, it has an extremely small particle size.
