Abstract: Disclosed herein are polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer articles. In one embodiment, a ?th inch thick bar formed from the thermoplastic composition has a B-Y ratio of less than or equal to about 1.75. This article, which has a dimension that is greater than or equal to 1.5 cm, comprises the thermoplastic composition which comprises a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer, wherein the copolymer comprises repeating diorganosiloxane units of formula (1): wherein each R is, independently, a C1-13 monovalent organic group; and E has an average value of 20 to 35.

Abstract: A polymeric substrate comprising a high glass transition temperature polycarbonate for use in optical display devices and light emitting devices is provided in the present invention. A liquid crystal display, an organic electroluminescent device, and methods for use including the aforementioned polymeric substrate are also provided in the present invention.

Abstract: A transparent, fire resistant branched polycarbonate-polysiloxane composition comprises polycarbonate, a short-chained polydiorganosiloxane, a branching agent, and flame retardants essentially free of bromine or chlorine, wherein the amount of short-chained polydiorganosiloxane is about 1 wt. % or less.

Abstract: A process for the making a film comprising dissolving a polycarbonate resin in an organic solvent to form a dissolved resin wherein the polycarbonate resin comprises a polycarbonate that exhibits favorable haze; casting a film of the mixture; and removing the solvent is provided in the present invention. The aforementioned polycarbonate film is also provided in the present invention.

Abstract: Thermoplastic compositions are described, containing a cycloaliphatic polyester resin, along with selected polycarbonates or copolycarbonates. The polycarbonates are usually based on dihydroxydiphenyl cyclohexanes, or on bisphenols prepared from cyclic monoterpene precursors. The compositions may be transparent or translucent. Moreover, they may include a rubbery impact modifier. Related processes and articles are also described.

Abstract: A polycarbonate is provided which contains residues of a dihydric phenol, at least one comonomer of a siloxane functional bisphenol, optionally, a branching agent and optionally, a flame retardant. Further embodiments of the present invention includes a method for producing a flame retardant polycarbonate.
