Abstract: This invention is directed to an impact modified polycarbonate composition comprising in admixture a high molecular weight aromatic carbonate polymer terminated with a novel endcapper and a minor amount of a polyolefin.
Abstract: Amidines are one of the strongest organic bases and find application where this property is needed, such as in phase transfer catalysis, in the form of their substituted derivatives. Their use, however, has been hampered by their expensive nature due to the only mediocre yields in their preparation. The present invention provides a process for the preparation of substituted amidines in essentially quantitative yields.
Abstract: Polyester-carbonate copolymers, blends of polyesters with polyester-carbonate copolymers and block copolymer compositions of polyester-carbonate copolymers have improved flame retardance when portions of the copolymer contain fluorinated diphenol copolymer. The fluorinated diphenol has at least one fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated aryl group upon the methylene carbon atom positioned between the aromatic ring structures of the diphenol. Polyester-carbonate copolymers, the blends of polyesters with the polyester-carbonate copolymers and block polymer compositions of polyester-carbonate copolymers are flame retardant.
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with ternary polycarbonate compositions having improved impact strength. The ternary compositions comprise a mixture of thermoplastic, aromatic polycarbonates which are derived from aromatic dihydroxy compounds, an acrylate copolymer and a polyolefin and its oxide.
Abstract: A polycarbonate composition having improved melt flow and improved impact strength after aging at elevated temperatures comprising polycarbonate resin with polyolefins and a polyorganosiloxane. A preferred composition comprises in admixture a high molecular weight aromatic carbonate polymer and a minor amount of a polyolefin and a polydimethylsiloxane fluid.
Abstract: Thermally stable polycarbonate compositions are obtained by admixing with a high molecular weight aromatic polycarbonate resin a stabilizing amount of a dioxane phosphite.

Abstract: Polycarbonate compositions having improved barrier properties; i.e., low water vapor transmission and low gas permeability, are obtained by employing selected mono- and di-alkyl substituted monomers.
Abstract: A process for preparing a thermoplastic, randomly branched aromatic polycarbonate is disclosed which comprises reacting a carbonate precursor, a dihydric phenol, and a dianhydride branching agent and maintaining the resultant reaction medium at a pH of from about 9 to about 12 to thereby produce a thermoplastic randomly branched aromatic polycarbonate.
Abstract: An interfacial polymerization process for preparing high molecular weight aromatic polycarbonates by reacting a dihydric phenol with a carbonate precursor in the presence of a catalytic amount of certain cyclic di- or triamines or salts of cyclic di- or triamines.
