  • Patent number: 6596821
    Abstract: A process for producing a cured silsesquioxane resin. The process includes fractionating the silsesquioxane resin a plurality of times utilizing an organic solvent in combination with an organic non-solvent. The fractionated resin is then stripped of excess solvent. The stripped resin is then mixed with a cross-linking compound to form a curable composition. The curable composition is cured to form a cured resin having high fracture toughness and strength without the loss of elastic modulus.
