NOVELTY - A shaped body comprises greater than or equal to 1 solid material and cured epoxy resin in which cured epoxy resin is prepared from epoxy resin composition containing greater than or equal to 1 epoxy resin having greater than or equal to 1 epoxy group per molecule, greater than or equal to 1 curing agent selected from cyanoalkylated polyamine, and greater than or equal to 1 accelerator selected from tert. amine, imidazole, guanidine, urea compound, and Lewis acid.    USE - A shaped body for cooling devices, climate control units, heat pumps, and thermoelectric generators (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The shaped body possesses high density of solid materials and is cost effective and mechanically and chemically stable.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A shaped body comprises greater than or equal to 1 solid material and cured epoxy resin in which cured epoxy resin is prepared from epoxy resin composition containing greater than or equal to 1 epoxy resin having greater than or equal to 1 epoxy group per molecule, greater than or equal to 1 curing agent selected from cyanoalkylated polyamine of formula A(NH-X-CN)n (A), and greater than or equal to 1 accelerator selected from tert. amine, imidazole, guanidine, urea compound, and Lewis acid.    A=aryl, arylalkyl, alkyl, and cycloalkyl in which A does not contain prim. amino group;    X=1-10C alkylene; and    n= greater than or equal to 2.    INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) method of preparing shaped body which involves successively performing step (a) of providing epoxy resin composition, step (b) of providing greater than or equal to 1 solid material in the form of particles, step (c) of partially coating particles with epoxy resin composition, step (d) of transferring coated particles into mold, and step (e) of curing epoxy resin;    (2) use of epoxy resin composition in preparation of shaped bodies comprising greater than or equal to 1 solid material and cured epoxy resin; and    (3) coated particles for preparation of shaped bodies comprising core of solid material which is partially coated with epoxy resin composition.
