摘要:
Windows and other articles made from dimethyl bisphenol cyclohexane (DMBPC) polycarbonate exhibit enhanced scratch resistance properties and Mw degradation resistance properties as compared to traditional polycarbonates. Such windows and other articles made from DMBPC polycarbonate can be used in various applications including buildings, particularly in agricultural environments and in electronic devices.
摘要:
Alkyl ester end-capped polycarbonates have improved release properties and may be produced by a method comprising the step of combining a polycarbonate having free terminal OH groups with an end-capping reagent comprising a symmetrical activated carbonate and an alkyl ester, whereby the end-capping reagent reacts with at least some of the free hydroxyl end groups of the polycarbonate to produce an end-capped polycarbonate comprising optionally substituted aliphatic ester end groups.
摘要:
A method of increasing the branching and polydispersity of a polycarbonate includes the steps of: (a) including in the polycarbonate at least one species of an alkyl substituted monomer, and (b) treating the polycarbonate at an elevated temperature and for a sufficient time to increase the branching and polydispersity relative to an otherwise equivalent polycarbonate without alkyl substituents.

摘要:
A melt polymerization method is presented which permits the efficient preparation of copolycarbonates in which one or more of the constituent dihydroxy. aromatic compounds employed is relatively volatile, having a boiling point of less than about 340° C. Relatively volatile dihydroxy aromatic compounds are illustrated by dihydroxybenzenes such as hydroquinone, methyl hydroquinone and resorcinol. Known methods for the preparation of members of this class of copolycarbonates, such as the melt reaction of bisphenol A and resorcinol diphenyl carbonate in the presence of sodium hydroxide and tetraalkylammonium salt catalyst systems, suffer losses in efficiency due to the resorcinol being entrained out of the polymerization mixture with by-product phenol. Catalyst systems including quaternary phosphonium salts are shown to have improved performance with respect to the amount of volatile dihydroxy aromatic compound actually incorporated into the product copolycarbonate.

摘要:
Multi-layer composites having a blend of a dimethyl bisphenol cyclohexane polycarbonate and a bisphenol A polycarbonate as a top layer joined to a bisphenol-A polycarbonate second layer provide both surface scratch resistance and the ability to form molded and die cut articles. In the top layer, repeat units of dimethyl bisphenol cyclohexane are present in an amount of at least 50 weight percent relative of the total repeat units in the top layer, preferably in a weight ratio of from 60 to 75 weight percent.
