Abstract:
A polycarbonate composition comprises: a first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer, comprising a polysiloxane block with an average block length of 10 to 100, and a siloxane content from 5 wt% to 10 wt%; and a second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising a polysiloxane block with an average block length of 10 to 100, and a siloxane content from 30 wt% to 60 wt%; wherein the weight ratio of the first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer to the second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer is greater than or equal to 2 to less than 8; and a bisphenol A homopolycarbonate, wherein the polycarbonate composition has a total siloxane content of 2.5 wt% to 10 wt% based on the total weight of the composition; and a molded part of 1 mm thickness has a haze of less than 10% as measured by HazeGard (ASTM D1003-00).
Abstract:
A polycarbonate composition comprises: a first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising carbonate units and siloxane units, wherein less than 0.5 mol% of the siloxane units are directly coupled to another siloxane unit; the first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising siloxane units with an average block length of about 10 to about 100, and a siloxane content from 5 wt% to 8 wt%; a second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising carbonate units and siloxane units, wherein less than 0.5 mol% of the siloxane units are directly coupled to another siloxane unit; the second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising siloxane units with an average block length of 10 to 100, a siloxane content from 10 wt% to 30 wt%, and wherein the weight ratio of the first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer to the second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer is 2 to 20; and optionally a bisphenol polycarbonate; wherein the polycarbonate composition has a total siloxane content of 2.5 wt% to 10 wt%.
Abstract:
A polycarbonate composition comprises: 30 to 95 wt% of one or more bisphenol A polycarbonate homopolymers; and 5 to 70 wt% of a poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer with a siloxane content of 10 wt.% to 25 wt.% based on the total weight of the poly(carbonatesiloxane), in an amount effective to provide a total siloxane content of 0.5 wt.% to 17.5 wt.% based on the total weight of the composition; the poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising bisphenol carbonate units and siloxane units of the formulas or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing, wherein E has an average value of 10 to 100, preferably 20 to 60, more preferably 30 to 50; wherein in the poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer less than 0.5 mol% of the siloxane units are directly coupled to another siloxane units.
