摘要 |
<p>The present invention is concerned with aromatic thermoplastic polycarbonates which contain at least about 0.5 mole % of structural units derived from 1,1,3,4,6-pentamethyl-3-(3,5 dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-indan-5-ol. The polymers disclosed herein may be homopolymers of these units or copolymers with other aromatic dihydroxy compounds and/or tri or higher functional branching agents. These homopolymers or copolymers may be used per se or they may be blended with other thermoplastic resins, particularly other aromatic polycarbonates. In addition, these polymers may be used to prepare coatings which may be cross-linked by heat treatment or radiation or they may be used as the base for graft polymerization.</p> |
