Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of thermoplastic, aromatic polycarbonates which contain structural units of the formulae 1 and/or 2 ##STR1## in which R denotes C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl, preferably CH.sub.3, andX denotes a single bond, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkylene, C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 -alkylidene, cyclohexylene, cyclohexylidene, --O-- or --S--.

Abstract: Preparation of a polyarylene sulphide by polycondensing a substituted p-dihalogenobenzene and optionally a polyhalogeno aromatic compound having at least three halo substituents with an alkali metal sulphide in a polar solvent in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tri-alkali metal phosphate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polycondensates of the formula 10, their use for absorbing metal ions of the transition elements of the periodic system and their use for the preparation of polymers containing metals of formula 11 which have e.g. improved resistance to heat and to chemicals compared to the corresponding polycondensates of formula 10.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the recovery of aromatic, high-molecular weight, thermoplastic polycarbonates from polycarbonate scrap, it being possible for the polycarbonate scrap to be either in the pure form as transparent naturally-occurring material, or mixed together with organic and, especially, inorganic dyestuffs and/or other additives, or in the form of a blend with other thermoplastic materials.

Abstract: Thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonate molding compositions with improved flame retardancy which contain an alkali metal salt of an organic or inorganic acid and optionally a perfluoroethylene, characterized in that they contain a tetrahalogenophthalimide of the general formulae (I) or (II) or mixtures thereof ##STR1## wherein R denotes a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 l alkyl, C.sub.6 H.sub.5, C.sub.10 H.sub.7, C.sub.6 H.sub.4 X, C.sub.6 H.sub.3 X.sub.2 or C.sub.6 H.sub.2 X.sub.3 group, in which X denotes a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, R' denotes a single bond or a C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 alkylene, C.sub.6 H.sub.4 or p-diphenylene radical, and Z denotes a chlorine or bromine atom,are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of branched thermoplastic polycarbonates, characterized in that diphenols are completely reacted with about 0.05 to about 2.0 mol %, relative to mols of diphenols, of cyanuric chloride in a primary reaction, while controlling the pH and temperature and in the presence of a co-solvent, and thereafter the products are subjected to polycondensation, in accordance with known methods of the phase boundary process, to give high-molecular weight, branched polycarbonates. The invention further relates to the branched polycarbonates prepared by this process.
