  • POLYCARBONATE COMPOSITIONS, ARTICLES, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
    Publication number: 20080176990
    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition comprises about 10 to about 85 wt. % of a polycarbonate resin; about 1 to about 40 wt. % of an impact modifier composition; and about 1 to about 50 wt. % of an impact-modified alkyl(meth)acrylate polymer; each based on the total combined weight of the thermoplastic composition, exclusive of any filler. The compositions have improved weld line strength, and are useful in the manufacture of molded parts, especially for electronic devices.
    Type: Application

  • Polycarbonate compositions, articles, and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 7365125
    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition, comprising: about 10 to about 84 wt. % of a polycarbonate resin; about 0.5 to about 40 wt. % of a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer; 1 to about 40 wt. % of an impact modifier composition; and about 1 to about 50 wt. % of an alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; each based on the total combined weight of the thermoplastic composition, exclusive of any filler. In another embodiment, the thermoplastic composition may comprise about 10 to about 85 wt. % of a polycarbonate resin; about 1 to about 40 wt. % of an impact modifier composition; and about 1 to about 50 wt. % of an impact-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; each based on the total combined weight of the thermoplastic composition, exclusive of any filler. The compositions have improved weld line strength, and are useful in the manufacture of molded parts, especially for electronic devices.
