  • Patent number: 4145525
    Abstract: Polycarbonates, of the type formed by reacting an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic 1,2-monoepoxide with carbon dioxide and having substantially alternating units of epoxide and carbon dioxide, are improved in thermal stability by reacting the free hydroxyl groups thereon with a hydroxyl reactive phosphorus compound.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 1977
    Date of Patent: March 20, 1979
    Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
