Curable silicone composition

摘要

The present invention pertains to a curable silicone composition comprised of (A) an organopolysiloxane represented by the formula <IMAGE> wherein R1 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group other than an alkenyl group; R2 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group other than an alkenyl group or hydrogen; R3 is an organic group that contains an epoxy group or an alkoxysilylalkyl group with the proviso that at least one R3 group is an organic group containing an epoxy group; a is either 0 or a positive number; b is a positive number; c is a positive number; a/c has a value of between 0 to 4, b/c has a value of between 0.05 to 4, and (a+b)/c has a value of between 0.2 to 4; and (B) a curing compound selected from curing agents or curing catalysts. The curable silicone composition of the present invention has superior curing properties and is capable of forming a hardened silicone material with superior flexibility and heat resistance after curing.
