Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a process for the production of high molecular weight thermoplastic ppolycarbonates having improved flame resistance and in conjunction with glass fibres, improved mechanical properties and the polycarbonates so produced. A solution polycarbonate is reacted with an alkali metal salt soluble in the melt of the polycarbonate until the Staudinger Index has increased by about 3 to 30 cm.sup.3 /g. This usually requires about 0.0001 to 0.1 wt. % of the salt, based on the weight of polycarbonate and a temperature of about 250.degree. to 400.degree. C for between about 1 and 30 minutes. In a preferred embodiment the reaction is conducted in a self-cleaning twin screw extruder.

Abstract: Polycarbonates are provided based on aromatic bis-hydroxy compounds which contain s-triazine compounds as linking members between 2 mols of the aromatic bis-hydroxy compounds bonded in each case via an oxygen atom thereof, on the one hand, and via carbon atoms of the s-triazine ring, on the other, the s-triazine rings carrying, on at least one further carbon atom, organic radicals with functional groups, these radicals being bonded via oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur. The novel polycarbonates may be used as selective solvents for hydrocarbons mixed with water or for making resins or coatings.

Abstract: The present invention is related to high molecular weight polycarbonates based on aromatic dihydroxy compounds which contain 5 to 100 mol % preferably 20 to 100 mol % of structural units derived from .alpha.,.alpha.,.alpha.,.alpha.',.alpha.',.alpha.'-hexakisaryl-1,3-and/or -1,4-dimethyl benzene dihydroxy compounds. In a preferred embodiment, the polycarbonate is a copolymer of the hexakisaryl dihydroxy compounds and bisphenols known to be useful in producing polycarbonates. The residues of the hexakisaryl compound may be 5 to 90 mol %, preferably 20 to 70 mol % of the structural units. An especially preferred copolymer is that between the hexakisaryl compounds and .alpha.,.alpha.'-(hydroxyphenyl)-diisopropyl benzenes. These polycarbonates show improved heat stability and higher second order transition temperature points than conventional polycarbonates and are useful in applications involving high service temperatures such as electrical insulating film.
