Abstract
An adhesion-reinforcing composition for an epoxy resin adhesive which comprises a copolymer resin particle having been ion-crosslinked with a univalent or divalent metal cation, which particle is comprised of (i) a core ingredient composed of a polymer comprising diene monomer units and optional crosslinking monomer units and having a glass transition temperature not higher than -30.degree. C. and (ii) a shell ingredient composed of a copolymer having a glass transition temperature of at least 70.degree. C. and comprising acrylate or methacrylate monomer units and 0.01-20 wt. parts, per 100 wt. parts of the shell ingredient, of units of a radically polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer having a carboxyl group and 3-8 carbon atoms; the core/shell weight ratio being 5/1-1/4. A composition comprising 100 wt. parts of an epoxy resin, 15-60 wt. parts of the adhesion-reinforcing composition, and 3-30 wt, parts of a heat-activation type curing agent is useful as a structural adhesive for automobile parts.
