    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the continuous multi-stage manufacture of an end-capped polycarbonate comprising, i) preparing a monomer mixture in a monomer mixing stage by mixing a bisphenol, a diaryl carbonate and optionally a transesterification catalyst in at least one monomer mixing device, ii) preparing a carbonate oligomer in an oligomerisation stage by reacting said monomer mixture in at least one oligomerisation reactor, iii) preparing the polycarbonate in a polymerisation stage by further reacting the carbonate oligomer of the oligomerisation stage in at least one polymerisation reactor, wherein an end-capping agent different from phenol and having a single phenolic hydroxy group is added to the monomer mixture in the monomer mixing stage and/or to at least one oligomerisation reactor in the oligomerisation stage.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aromatic polycarbonate obtained via the melt transesterification of a diaryl carbonate, a bisphenol and an endcapping agent selected from paracumyl phenol, dicumyl phenol, p-tert-butyl phenol and mixtures of at least two of said endcapping agents, said polycarbonate having a melt volume rate of at least 20 cm3/10 min (ISO 1133, 300° C., 1.2 kg), a terminal hydroxyl group content of at most 800 ppm by weight, a Fries branching content of at most 1300 ppm by weight and a content of bulky end groups of at least 20 mol % defined as the sum of the mol % of end-groups based on said bisphenol and the mol % of end-groups based on said endcapping agent.
