Abstract: A polycarbonate-epoxy polymer and method of making the same is presented. In accordance with the present invention, epoxide groups of epoxy resins react with in-chain carbonate groups of a polycarbonate in the presence of a catalyst to form a polycarbonate-epoxy polymer. When diepoxides and polycarbonates are reacted, the product produced is a three-dimensional network of chains cross-linked with carbonate groups. The cross-link density is controlled by adjusting the epoxy-carbonate ratio. The preferred catalyst comprises quarternary ammonium salts with tertiary amine and alkoxide catalyst being less preferred.
