Epoxy group-containing silicone resin and compositions based thereon

摘要

There is disclosed a curable resin composition that has an excellent fluidity prior to curing and that cures to form a molding resin that is flexible, highly moisture resistant, and strongly resistant to heat shock, said composition comprising (A) 100 weight parts of a curable resin; and (B) 0.1 to 500 weight parts of an epoxy group-containing silicone resin that has the general formula (R1SiO3/2)a(R2R3SiO2/2)b(SiO4/2)c wherein R1, R2 and R3 each represents a group selected from the group consisting of an epoxy group-containing organic group and a monovalent hydrocarbon group with the proviso that said epoxy group-containing organic groups comprise 0.1 to 40 mole percent of the total silicon-bonded organic groups in said silicone resin (B), a is a positive number, b is zero or a positive number, c is zero or a positive number, b/a has a value of zero to 10, c/(a+b+c) has a value of zero to 0.3 and said silicone resin (B) has a glass-transition temperature of -90 DEG C. to 150 DEG C.
