Abstract: A copolycarbonate of the formula wherein 5 to 75 mole percent of the total number of R1 groups is derived from a high Tg monomer of formula (2) wherein R2 and R3 are each independently a halogen or a C1-6 alkyl group, R4 is a methyl or phenyl, and c is 0 to 4; and 25 to 95 mole percent of the R1 groups are derived from a dihydroxy compound of formula HO—R5—OH, wherein at least 60% of the R5 groups are aromatic, and the dihydroxy compound of formula (3) is not the same as the high Tg monomer of formula (2), and wherein the copolycarbonate comprises at least 10% fewer carbonate linkages of formula (4) than would be theoretically obtained in a random copolymer made from the same ratio of the high Tg monomer of formula (2) and the dihydroxy compound of formula (3).

Abstract: A composition comprising a phosphorus containing stabilizer and a polyetherimide sulfone resin having an amount of anhydride functional end groups in excess of the amount of amine functional end groups. The composition may optionally comprise a hindered phenol.
