Abstract:
A polymer composition includes: about 20 wt % to about 80 wt % of a polycarbonate polymer; about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % of a polycarbonate-siloxane copolymer; about 15 wt % to about 35 wt % of a reinforcing filler having a tensile modulus of at least about 150 GPa; and about 4 wt % to about 20 wt % of a flame retardant comprising phosphorous. The polymer composition demonstrates a flexural modulus in an amount equal to or greater than about 10 GPa. Methods of forming a polymer composition and blended thermoplastic compositions are also described.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to blended thermoplastic compositions comprising at least one polycarbonate component, at least one reinforcing filler, at least one phosphorus-containing flame retardant component. The resulting thermoplastic composition can be used in the manufacture of articles requiring materials with improved flame retardancy and optical properties such as light transmittance, while retaining required modulus and impact properties.
