Patent ID: 6887934

Claim:
A resin modified elastomer comprising: (A) a cross-linked siloxane comprising: (i) a siloxane polymer, (ii) resin functionality having the formula (R 3 SiO 1/2 ) x (SiO 4/2 ) y (RSiO 3/2 ) z and (iii) cross-links, -E-Y-E-, with each end of the cross-link is bonded to a silicon atom, wherein, each R is independently a divalent hydrocarbon group having 2 to 30 carbon atoms or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms; wherein when R is a divalent hydrocarbon group it is bonded to the resin and to the siloxane polymer or a cross-link; each E is a divalent group independently selected from â€”CH 2 CH 2 â€” or â€”CHâ•CHâ€”; Y is a divalent group that is a hydrocarbon having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms; and x is â‰§1, yâ‰§0, zâ‰§0 and y+zâ‰§1; and (B) a diluent.
