  • Solid state process for the preparation of high molecular weight poly(arylcarbonate)s from amorphous oligomer
    Patent number: 5266659
    Abstract: The invention disclosed is an improved process for the preparation of high molecular weight poly(arylcarbonate), the molecular weight ranging from 45,000-60,000 (corresponding to n.sub.inh 0.8 to 1.0) The process involves heating in a controlled manner, a BPA-polycarbonate oligomer in the presence of a catalyst selected from alkali metal aryl acid, alkali metal borohydrial and a quarternary ammonium salt of bioxiyanion derived from a carboxylic acid poly(arylcarbonate)s of high molecular weight produced by the process of present invention show enhanced crystallinity.
