| abstract |
The present invention has its object to provide a curable composition which comprises a vinyl polymer capable of providing cured products generally showing good mechanical characteristics, oil resistance and thermal stability, among others and can be cured by the hydrosilylation reaction and, further, showing excellent curing characteristics so far unattainable with the prior art compositions. n The present invention relates to a curable composition which comprises:n (A) a vinyl polymer (I) containing, within the molecule thereof, at least one alkenyl group capable of undergoing the hydrosilylation reaction, (B) a hydrosilyl group-containing compound (II), (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst, (D) a compound containing, within the molecule thereof, at least one active hydrogen atom-containing group selected from among an alcoholic hydroxyl group, a phenolic hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group and/or at least one group capable of generating, within the molecule thereof, a carboxyl group(s) upon occurrence of an appropriate reaction within the system, and (E) a curing modifier. |
