Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a modified reaction resin with a content of 50 to 98 % by weight of a liquid reaction resin or reaction resin mixture processed into thermosetting plastic with a suitably reactive group of sufficient number for the hardening process and 2 to 50 % by weight of one or more three dimensional crosslinked polyorganosiloxane rubbers, which are held in the reaction resin matrix in finely divided state as polyorganosiloxane rubber particles with a diameter of from 0.01 to 50 micrometers, together with small quantities other auxiliary materials.
The rubber particles have reactive groups on their surfaces, which in turn in the presence of auxiliary media serving as reactive components can react chemically with the reaction resin.
The invention also relates to a process for the production of the modified reaction resins and their use for the production of fracture and impact resistant, also definitively shaped thermosetting plastics, fiber-reinforced plastics,insulation and laminated plastics.

Description

~8~ 6 DescriE tion The invention r~ates to a modified reaction ~lr a process for its production and also its u~e for the production ~f ~aped thermoætting ~s with improvedfraCture resistance, especially impact resistance.
Starting products or prep~ymers which are to be underst ood as addressed in the s-ope of the present invention are from among the reac'don r~ns which are liquid or E~Las~c before and du ing the processing and ~aping process and fcillow~ng the traditiorJal shaping proces~ng, as a ~ aE pciLyreact~on (p~Lymerization, pciLyconden~tion, pbLyaddition), yiPld thermosetting E~astics. A three dimensional, cro~linked, hard, non-melt~ng resLn, the thermosetting E~ c, is obtained by the polyreaction, and the thermosetting EiLas~ thus dii~Eers basically from traditional thermoplasic E~Lastics, which as is known can be ~iqueiïed and~or d repeatedly ~ reheating.
As a result aE the generally ~ery high densLty aE cro linking, the cros~linlced reaction resLns have a number ~YE valua~Le proper~es, whLch pra~ the reason that they alDng w~th the thermoEilastics are the most used pciLymers. T~se valuahle ~
es~y inclu~le hardr~, strength, chemical resi*ance and temperature durab~ity. Because o~ these properties these reaction resLns are used fc~r various purposes, far instance for the production aE fiker-re~nforced E~las~cs, for ins~t~on materials used ~n ~Lectrotechn~gy, for the production a~ structural adhesives, laminated Eilas~cs, annealing lacq~rs and the li~e.

In addition to these advantageous prope~ties the thermoætt~ng plastics have one s~nous drawback, which in many cases quite prevents their use. As a res~lt c~E the highly cros~linlced state they are indeed very b~tt~Le and have a ~DW impact resistance. Th~s appear~
especially in the range of low temperatures, in other words at temperatures ~1~ w O degrees C, æ~ that, for uses wherein the p~ymer is to be subjscted to high mechanical stresæ~ at low temperatur~s, especially impact stresses, the thermoEiLastic pc~Lymers genera~ly have the advantage, whereby the drawbacks connected therewith, such as lower }~at deformation resLstance and chemical res~stance, must be taken into consideration.
Since this condi~n is not p~rticula~y favoratile, there have been many attempts in the Fast to improve the impact resi*ance or flexib;lity of thermoætting pla*ics.
Thus it is already known, for instance, to m~ reac~don resins with fiber fi~lers, in order to increase the impact ~ance. The improvements which are thus obtained are nonetheless q~i e limi~ed. The ad;di~ion to resins c~E powdered, soft fi~ler mater~l, such as powde~d rwbb~
or soft el~c Eilas~c powder, is ~Iso known. The partic3e dimencions alch powdered additives is in ~e range c appro~imat~ly 0.04 to 1 mm, which obvloucly does not sufl3ce to imE~rove such reactiDn r~ns to the desired degree, and which therefore enhance the drawbacks r~;Lative to other important properties required for technical use a~ this sort aE
modified thermosettiry plastic.
Attempts have been made to ~mprove the impact resistance of cros~lir~ reaction n~sLns by ad~ion ~ s~teners. The added ~fteners do not react with the reaction r~sLn~ rather as a r~ af ~ayenng cause a w,iden~ng of the network c~E thermosetting EiLa*ics and w~th 4~i that a certain ~n~ng of the matPnal. A rt3marka~ile imErovement af the impact resist~nc:e can actu~illy be attained in thi~s maMerl which however unfortunately ~esul~s ~n a limitation o~ t~e ouday which ! ~ed for the q~i~ of other essential features of the thermo~etting Fila~ics. Ther~fore, with the use of s~fteners, a latent danger esdsts ~ migration occuring f ~llnw~ng the cro~linldng of the reac~on resin or w~th furth~ aging, w~th the negative n~l~s inl~erent there~n for the s~rface pro~s of ti~
material, such as the adherence, spreadability, E~ilish and the like.
Furth~mc~re attempts have alsc been made to ~ncrease the el~ ity al~ thermosetidng EiLastics, in that cha~n ler~thene~; are added, which are inco~porated into the network with the harder~ng ~cess and lower the density of cro~. Epoxy ~s for ins~ance co~l be el~ ed according to this E~nc4iLe by ad~i~n o epc~dized ~y~ean ail, dimenc fatt~ acids or epod~-flmctional p~Lyglyc~L etbers. Since the improvement in ~s~t~ however is at~ained ~ a decrease a~ the cro~

linking density, it is connected ~ith the decreasing crosslinkin~
density a deterloratlon of ~esirable properties such as hardness, chemical reslstance or temperature durability. This solutioD. therefore also led to results which were not totally satisfactory.
It iS Atg~ known to use ~qui~ or 9ii~ but uncros~inked butadieneærylr~t~ile rubbers tr~le rubber, ~BR) as addi~es to ~mprcJve the ~ of the r~action resn~ These r~le rub~ contain functional groups which can be reacted with the reaction r~ with the cros~
Erocess or even in a ~revi~us reaction. The remarka~ile f~ature o~ these modi~ as compared w~th thoæ cited as beir~ used ~1 now resides in ~at they are actu~illy mi~l~e w~th t~e unc~iriked reaction re~Dn, arxl a F~ase æparation noneth~e~ takes Eil~ce d~g the ~3in~ng c~ the 4~

reaction resin, in whl h the mbber phase is d_posited in the fc~rm c~ fine droplets. As a resul~ of the reaction of the functional groups located on the surface of the n~t~le rubber par~cles with the reaction r~;in a ~lid connection of the rubber phase ~nth the thermosetting Eilas~c matnx is formed.
This ~ype of modification of reaction resLns is actua~ly more advant~geous bocause the effect is att~ined not by simEiLe IDwering the network density, but rather by formation a~ a æparate s~ft phase with the result that the other a~vantageous prop~rties aE the thermosetting plastics are not in uenced quantitativ~y by the modi~ier, as is the case with the measures which were forme~Ly used. Unfortunat~ily however such thermosetting Eilas~cs modified ~nth nit~ile rubbe~ have notable pro~ms.
For instance the heat resistance clE thermosetting pl~stics modified with nitrile rubber is notably decreased and because of that their capacity for use at high temperatures is ques~ona~ile. This is also true c~ many ~ct~ic prc~ es, such as for example the di~ s~rer~h or breakdown istance. Becauæ aE the r~lativ~Ly good compati}~ity c~ e nitrile er with most reactiDn resins, espe~ally with epoxy resins, a a~tain porlion of the rubbe~ does not ~ci~ate in t~e phase separation dur~ng the c~ilinldng and is ~porated into ~e res~n matnx. The densi~
~:lin~ of the cros~lir~ reaction resin is thereby lowered ~ith the already noted negative resllts for the configuration o the properths ~ the com~ileted thermose'ding Eilastics. Another drawback is the very high ULccosity of the nitlile n~bber modi~iers, which leads to proce~ing pro~ilems and which negativ~Ly infLuences the i~Low properties o~ the modified reaction n_sin.
The o~2ct c~ the present invention is to modify ~8~
reaction resins in such a manner that thermosetting plastics are obtained with improved fracture resis-tance following the shaping and hardening process, and which have especially improved impact resistance, and the advantageous properties inhering in the thermosetting pl.astics, especially their hea-t deflection temperature, and their strength and chemical resistance, still inhere almost completely, even in thermo-setting plastics which are modified in such a manner.
A modified thermosetting resin according to the invention is characterized by the following component contents: -(a) 50 - 98% by weight of a thermosetting resin or a mixture of thermosetting resins being crosslinkable by polyaddition or polycondensation polymerization and processible into thermosetting plastics, said thermosetting resin or mixture of thermosetting resins being liquid at temperatures in the range of from 1~ to 120C and having an average molecular weight of from 200 to 500,000; and (b) 2 - 50% by weight of one or more three-dimensional crosslinked poloyorganosiloxane rubbers, which are present in the reaction thermosetting resin or mixture of thermosetting resins in finely divided form as poly-organosiloxane rubber particles having a diameter of from 0.01 to 50 micrometers, the rubber particles selected from the group consisting of those having the following general formula of siloxane units:

- (R2SiO) - ( 1 ) ~ B

in which both monovalent R radicals, which are identical or different, are linear or branched alkyl groups with 1 to 18 C
atoms, cycloaliphatic groups with 4 to 8 C atoms, linear or branched alkenyl groups wlth 2 to 4 C atoms, phenyl or alkyl-phenyl groups with 1 to 12 C atoms in the aliphatic radical, and the hydrocarbon radicals can be substituted by hydro~en`, halogen, hydroxyl-, carboxyl-, carboxylic acid anhydride-, amino-, epoxy-, alkoxy-, alkenyl oxy-, polyether- or poly-olefine groups, said groups being connected directly or through an oxygen or nitrogen atom with a silicon atom of the polysiloxane chain.
Examples of such ~ radicals are methyl-, ethyl-, isopropyl-, isobutyl-, dodecyl- and octadecyl groups, cyclopentyl-, cyclohexyl- and cyclooctyl groups, vinyl-, allyl-, isopropenyl- and 3-butenyl groups, ethylphenyl-, dodecyl groups, and other groups with hydrocarbon radicals, which are partially substituted, for example by halogens, such as fluorine or chlorine, as found for instance in chloropropyl- or in the l,l,l-trifluoropropyl radical. At least a portion of the R radical can also consist of polymer groups, especially including polyethers, such as polyethylene-, polypropylene-, polybutylene- or polyhexa-ethylene glycol or polytetrahydrofuran and also copolymersyo/e f,'~ e s of these ethers, and also ~}~f~;, e.g. polybutadiene, polyisoprene, polybutene, polyisobutene and the like.
Finally, a part of the R radical can also be hydrogen.

~4~46 The modified reaction resin ~ccording to the inven-tion preferably contains 5 to 30~ by weight of one or more three-dimensional crosslinked polyorganosiloxane rubbers.

Furthermore it is also possihle to use said polyorganosiloxanes according to the invention, in which are present different R radicals in the polymer molecule. These different radicals could be distributed randomly along the siloxane main chain. In one preferred embodiment the polyorganosiloxane rubber used according to the invention is a block copolymer, in which monovalent R' and R~ radicals are arranged in blocks along the siloxane main chain, which are of the following general formula of polymer units:

-(R 2SiO)x-(R"2~io)y- (2) in which the R' and R" radicals, which have the same meaning as Rt are different from each other, while the R' and R"
radicals can be identical to each other or different, and x and y are the same as 1 or some whole number multiple thereof.
On account of their easy availability and good effect, those polyorganosiloxanes are preferred, in which a~ least 50%
of the R, R~ and R" radicals represent methyl- and/or phenyl ' groups. $

The invention al.so relates to a process for the production of modified thermosetting resins of the type referred to above. The method comprises dispersing 2 to 50%
by weight of one or more three-dimensional crosslinkable, liquid polyorganosiloxanes with an average molecular weight of from 800 to 500,000 in the presence of a crosslinking catalyst and/or a crosslinking agent in 50 to 98% by weight of a thermosetting resin or mixture of thermosetting resins being liquid at temperatures in the range of from 18 to 120C
and having an average molecular weight of from 200 to 500,000 and, optionally, dispersants having an average molecular weight of from 300 to 50,000 being able to stabilize the polyorganosiloxane rubber particles to be dispersed in the thermosetting resin or mixture of thermosetting resins and being compatible with the pol.yorganosiloxanes and thermosetting resin or mixture of thermosetting resins, by using mechanical equipment effecting high shear forces in the medium to be dispersed or ultrasonic homogenizers which result in a fine distribution of the liquid polyorganosiloxanes in the liquid thermosetting resin or mixture of thermosetting resins, forming polyorganosiloxane droplets with a diameter in the range of from 0.01 to 50 micrometers.

: .

~4~346 Because of a better manipulability and easier accesibility, uncrossl.inked polyorganosiloxane or polyorganosiloxane mixtures are preferabl.y used which have an average molecul.ar weight of from 1000 to 100,000, especially preferably from 1200 to 30,000.
In the process according to the invention the uncrosslinked liquid polysiloxanes which are used in the reaction resins are finely divided, so that the polysil.oxanes are present in the reaction resin matrix as droplets with diameters in the range of from 0.01 to 50 micrometers, preferabl.y from 0.05 to 20 micrometers and especially preferably from 0.01 to S micrometers.
The process according to -the invention can be carried out in different embodiments. One preferred embodiment resides in that the liquid polyorganosiloxane is first of all dispersed in a medium which is not miscible or is only sliyhtly miscible with pol.yorganosiloxanes and then they are crosslinked in a known manner, before they are thoroughl.y mixed with the reaction resin or reaction resin mixture to be modified, and the dispersant medium may be removed in a known manner after the mixing.

In another process s~ep this disper~on is mixed with the reaction re~;in to be modified, and ~re must be taken to maintain the ne dis~ribution. If the dispersant medium is not desired in the modi~ied reaction re3n mixture, it can for instance be æparated out by evaparation or decanting.

The reactlon occurs advantageously before or during the later processing of the ~odifled reactlon resin.

This prere~u~sLte is true for practica~ly all c~ the r~action resins, when at least a mapr part, ~referahly more than 50 ~, of all organic groups of the siloxane main chain are methyl groups, and such p~LyorganosilQxane are E~eferably used for these va~ations of the process according to the invention.
The fine dis~ibution of the liquif~ pblyorganosiloxane in the liquid reaction res~ns can be implemented with all known measl~res and au~liary means used for the production o em~sions. Amor~ these are counted especially mechanical assem~ilies which di~ay a quite high shear effect in the medium to be disper~, such æ for exam~e stirrers, dissnlvers, kneaders, r~ler frames, high pressure homogenizers, ultrasor~c homoger~zers and the like. To obtain a fine dis~ib~tion, disp~ng devices o~ the "l~tra-Tu rax" t~pe are especi~y suitable. It is to ke unde~;tood that the shearing force~ to ba apEilied ~ the production of a certain dis~ibution are dependent upon the ~3cosities c~ the pciLysil~anes and c~
the raaction resLn or reaction resin mixture. With v~ry high u~scosit~es, es~lly of the reaction resin, then s~ch Wgh shearing forcers must ba apEilied under some cor~i~ions that ~ither oorrespondinqly powerful di~ng machines must be ~;ed or ~Lse the ~sco~t~ m~st be lowe~ed by co~onding increase of the tempPrature. This is espec~y true for reaction resins which are s~Lid at room ~emp~rature and are not to be brought mto plastic or fluid stat:e until the temperature is ~a~sed. The increased temperatures which are used however may not lead to any nota~e cros~Linking aE the pciLyorganosi~xanes cr af the reaction res~ns dunng t~e dispersion phase. This can be contr~lled ~n a known manner by ql~abLe solPction of the cros~linldng system.

~ ar~er to a~n the desLra~le ~e di~nensi~ns with disper~on c the pc~Lyo~ganosiloxanes and/~ t~ stab~ize the p~Ly~rganiosiloxane d~on which has been attained, it can ~e necessary or be desirable to use certain addi~ives with a dispersallt effect. In the casesin which the si~xane componentitself has a s~ffi~ierst dispersa~ility as a res~ c su~a~ s~ilection ~ a l~rt ~ the R, R' or R" radical, and the sdi~als gene~ally have a chenu~31 constitu~on which is compati~e with the relevant reaction r~in, dis~rsant additives can be d~spensed ~zLth. [n all other cases, however, ~n which such sub~tuted p~y loxanes are eLther not availabl~ or are produced only at high cost, use c~ a separate dispesant can be r~quired. Prefera~Ly therefore compounds ~th amphiphilic structure are used as ~nts in stage (a), and a po~on ~ the group6 c~ such amphiphilic mc~lecules are ~d to be compati~iLe with the pcilyo~ganosiloxanes which are used, w~le another po~ion of the group is so~ected to be compati~le with the reaction res~n ar reaction re~in mixture.
The s ~itable dis~rsant then ~ncludes an amphiphilic struct~e which is anal~ous to certain em~ilsifi~rs. E~ecia~ly proven and therefclre espe~lly to be recommended as dispersants are cop~iLymer~ with a p~LyQr~anosi~ane E~rt and an Qrgan~c car~on part, wh~ch is compati~ile with the reac~on r~n or r~action resin m~xture. For examF~e, if the reaction resin is an epo~ resin, then a copciLymer c p~Lydimer~l s;l~ane and epoocy resin is a sui~atile disper~nt. The E~roduction c~ such cop~lymers is genera~ly known and has been ~scribed in W. Nc~ll, "Chemie und Techn~Logie der 5iliXonen, Weinheim 1968.
The a~ iLe dispersants for the purpose af the invention can be Qf any mbLecular weight, Le. the m~cular weight can vary within a 8~

wide range. Di~ ants are preferakle whlch have an average moaecular Weight c~ ~om 300 bo 50,000. In any case, then, ~ is essent~l that thR
dispersant which i9 selected is present in the phase boundary layer between polyorganosiloxane and reaction resin under the conditions of the dispersing process. The required concentration of dispersant depends for the most part upon its effectiveness, the chemical constitution of the polysiloxane and reaction resins and the dispersing conditions. In practice, concentrations of from 1 to 30~, as compared with the polysiloxane portion, have produced good results.
The average molecular welght of the ~quid, uncn~ssinked pclyorgano~lozanes which can be used in the process according bo the inven~on can vary wnthLn wide ~ s and geneE~ly lies in ~e raange o ~om 800 to SOû,000. The ~tom ~ is thus set 9~ that with decr~ng mcilecular weight the density c the cr~li~ o the p~Lyorgans~l~xane rubber ~s gr~ater and thus its ~ilas~ is ~Dwer. Tl~s ef~ect to be sure can be 3essened by addi~ion c~ kdfunctional cro~li~

In one ~efe~ emk~diment a~ the Froce~ acoo~ding to the inv~n ~e uncrc~linked pciLyargan~ne or p~iLyorqanosi~xane mixture uæd in stage (a) p~eferaiiLy has an average mciLec~ar weight in the range oE from lOûO to 100,000, ~ciany prefera~iLy from 1200 t~ 30,nO0. In this case it ~s natural to note that 'che pcLyorganosiLoxar~ as we~ mosl: other polymers have no uniform molecular ue~ght, but rather a more or less broad mo$eculflr ~elght dis~rlbution.
Al90 the type o ~ by which the ~ uid Fc~yorgancslo~anes are converted into e~*ic s~icon ~ubber part~eS i.c uninportant for the d~osure of the inven~10n, ing~Ear as it is guaranteed that the ~ze di~bib~ion of the pclysloxane particles is not greatly disturbed by the cros~inking reaction and that no or only ~ight cro6s~nkin3 reac~ons taXe Elace in the reaction resin ~hase. Inscfar as these prerequ~ites are ful~lled, all trad~ion211y used hardening Frocesses can be used for the cro~ c pcilysiloxane el~stomers, especia~ly the l~own addition and condensation E~rocesses.
For im~ementation of the addition ~linhng, group6 must be ~esent in q~ffl~ent number in the p iLyo~gano~e mixture wh~ch have hydrogen bound ~irec~Ly to qliron, ie. 5i~ groups, as well as oJ~finic unsaturated radicals, which can be added to t~}e 5iH groups (~d a hydrosilylation reacton). In the simplest case in the crosslinked pc~yorgano~loxan~s it has to do with a p~lydimethyl loxane with ~nnyl end grou~c, to which are added 1 to 10 % c a pblymethyl hydrogen silaxane. The ad~ ion cro~lis~ng takes E~Lace moslly ~t high temperatures, for instance between 60 as~d 140 degrees C, ~n the presence af a noble metal catalys~

condensation catalysts is not a}~LutELy reqmred in this case, but can he recommended, if the ~ife o~ the cros~linking reaction is to be ~ortened or the temperature required for the cro~lin)~ng is to be lowered. Orgarnc heavy metal salts are the best catalysts, such as for instance ~mown octoates, ~aurates, naphthenates or acetates of tin, zircor~um, lead and titanium.
The e cros~linking methods known for the prcduc'don aE
sil~ane elastomers can be extended by such l~inding r~actions as can cause the three dimensional cros~g c~ the linear F~yo~ganosil~xane m~Leculf~s. The reactive grou~s required far slch ~nding reaclions can be not only, as was de~ibed for the known addii ion a~ nden~;ation cro~lin~ng, bounded c~rec~y to the p~Lysil~ane ma~n chain, but ~o can be c~nnected ~th ~e ~ganic rad~cals R, R' or R" o the aforem~ioned form~as (1) ar~l (2) a~ can be ident~cal ~lth l he other aforeme~ioned functlon 1 grouEs, ~ith which these radicals can he su~tuted.

The average F~e qze of the Fblyorganosiloxane rubber par~es and the parti~le dis~ lion exercize an inL~nce on the qualitiPc c~ the hardened modified reaction resin, especia~ly on i~:s fracture and impact resLstance.

As explained to obtain an lmproved fracture and impact resis~ance of the hsrdened modified reaction reslns according to the invention it i9 essential that the flnely divided polysiloxane rubber particles have a chemlcal bonding ~ith the reaceion resin. The bonding i8 advantAgeously caused by a chemical reaction between reactive groups located on the surface of ~he rubber par~icles and corresponding reactive groups present ln thc reaction resin, and the reactlve groups found on the surfaces of the polysiloxsne partlcles must b~ fitted to thfl reactive groups of the relevant reaction resin.
When the reaction resin is a resin hardened according to the principl~
of polymerizaeion, e.g. an unsaturated polyester resin, generally polymerizable C-C-double bonds are to be selected a~ reactlve groups in the polyorganosiloxan rubber. ~ith an addition crosslinklng resin, e.g. an epoxy resin, the reactive groups oP the polysiloxane particles can like~lse be epoxy groups, ~hich then react during the hardening proce~s of the reaction re~ln ~ith the relevant used hardener, or elae epoxy-reactive groups, such as the afore~entioned amino-, carbpxyl-or carbonic acid anhidride groups. ~ith condensatlon crosslinking resin~, for instance phenol reslns, the reactive groupa can be ior example phenolic O ~ groups.
So that the pc~Lyorganosilc~ rubber E~les c~n react chemically w~th the r~ac~on resn, the reactive group6 must be located on the s~aces c the pblyQrgano~l~xane rub~er pa~icles. That can for ~xamF~e be n~alized ~ that the R, R' or R" radica~s contained in the pcilyorgan~caoe ca~y corre~?onding r~ac~ve compone~s, as has ~ready ~en ~. The prereq~ te for this ~s that theæ components d~ not in9uence the cro~k~g reaction c the pcilyorgar~2nes in an undesira~le manner. ArY~ther po~lity resLdes in the co~respon~ing, at least par~al ~tution of the dispersant which may be used in the grouE~;, With the Erocess accordiry to the in~enti(~n t~s can be ~eaLized in an espe~a~ly ~mEile manner in that with the 9~n c~ a a~ iLe amphipbilic ~ thesLzed d~nt care must be taken l:hat i~s or~ar~
carbon o~mponent inclu~es a~a~ r~ac~ve groups. ~ one E~eferred configu~ation o the Eroce~ according to the inven~on then a disper~ t age~t is ~3d with an crgar~ic car~on a~mpone~t, whi~h has reacti~le group~;, ~hich as reactlve component can cause chemlcal bonds bet~een the polyorganosiloYsne particles and the reaction resin or reaction resin mixture.

Another possibillty i3 the use of addltives to the process according to the invention ser~lng as reactlve component.
In order to assure the r~u~red chemlcal bonding of the ~ilicon rubber particles to the resln ~atrlx, 8uch a reactive component must also have chem~ al groUpLngS~ whlch bond ~ to the sUicon rubber pari~x~ Ih stage ~C)c ~e process accordin9 to the inven~on, pfefera~y organoalkyl-oxys~anes andVor org ff oonrcopclymeLs with neactive group6 adaptsd t~

organo~icon-cop~Lymers~ which are sui~:able for this p~rpoæ, coul~ be cons~ructed in a similar way as the aforementioned and ~nked dispersant agents, so that another exEilanation is not necessary. ExamEiles c~ sui~ e argano~icon~ymers are conden~tion products cE low m~Lecular silancl-termir~ted p~lydimethylsiloxanes w~th diglyc~de ethers, hydraxycarbonic acid and p~yesters conta~nir~ hydroxyl- and carbon~c acid groups, aromatic p~Lyhydrcixyl compol~nds and ~ for~h. Other po.~b~it~es ar~se from the hydrosilyl~tion of pblymethy~hydrogen ~ xanes ~th compound~ which in addition bo the desLred reactive groups al~ oontain an ~Einic double bond, such as a~lyl glycid~l ether, allyl alcohal, methacrylic acid ~lyl ester, 2-hydrcdcy ethyl acrylate, mae3inic acid anhydride and the ~ike. The production af theæ ~pblymers ~s known in pcinci~e and ~s famiL~r to the per~on in the art.
The reaction w~th which the p~Lyorganosilaxane rubber parti~es are to be chemically bonded to the reaction res~n ma~c is generally executed before or du~ng the later proces~ng af the modi~ied reaction resLn, and the type and conditions c~ the execution depend essen'da~y upon the type of cooperating r~action components. ~ the implest case a su~ a~Le temperature increase ~ffices to cause the desired reac~on. Another pos ib~ity n~sides in the addi~ion of suitable components to the reaction with the reactive groups af the pc~ysiloxane ~rti~es, fvr instance the aforementioned re~ctive component, or catalyzing components for this reaction in the reaction resLn. For this, the added reaction components or the catalytic components can ~e identical with the corresponding ,~

~mponents, which cause the h~rdening reaction of the reac~on r~n. In this case the chenical bor~ling reac~n is ~efera~iLy n~t executed w~l the sLm~aneou~ly with this ~enLng.
The modi~d r~action n~sins acc~rding to the ~esent invention have a ænes ~f advar~ es as comp~red with the sim~lar known products arx~ oould therefore be uæd for numer~ ferent ~s.
These advantages incl~3e first c~ all the ~m~wement o~ the fracture and temperatures--acc~g to the ptiLyorgar~xane w~ch is used, d~wn to -50 d~grees C--ar~ aLs~ with v~ry ~gh tempe~atures, ie. up to s~ften~ng tempe~ature c~ the r~levant thermoætting ~lastics. ~t is ~ important that the modif}~ng proce~ ~ncur no nega'dve infLuience cn the hardne~, the strength and æ~ftening temperature aE the c~ed r~ac1ion ~esin. The rea~n nesLn harde~d according to the invention by the ~lastome~c ct~mponents has high ~, weat~ng, light and temperature resi*a~e, without regaliv~ly in1~ the characte~c ~1arb~ ae the thermosetting pastlcs. Also and above all, the ~lec~ Fecper~es, especially the ina~on Ft~c~erties af the reac~on resLn, are not inauenced in a negative manr~r at l~gh temperatures.
Tbe E~oce~;Lng o tlle reaction resins which are modi~e~
r~ative to impact resistance can occur in traditional manner, in which it is es~ia~ly advantageous that the ~sco~ty al~ ~i~ed modified reaction n~sins LS ha~ igher with the E~Eerred rubber coneentrations c~

Because o~ the only slight influence of the modification suggested according to the Inventlon on the processing and hardenlng properties, the reaction resins modlfled accordlng to the lnvention are ~ultable for all addltlve uses, in which thermosetting plastics ~re traditionally used. They are addltlonally especlally ~ultable for such uses in wh~ch E~re thermoset~ng Eil~cs co~d not be used until this ~me on account of thelr poor fracture and impact reslstance. Suitable uses of the reactlon resins modifled accordlng to the inventlon are especially the use for the production of fracture and ~mpact resistant, also shaped thermosetting plastic~, fiber-reinforced plastics, insulation material in slectrotechnology and lamlnated plastics.
