Process for preparing poly(ester-carbonates) from dicarboxylic acid chlorides.

摘要

A process for poly(ester-carbonates) from dihydric phenols, especially bisphenol A; aromatic or cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acids, especially terephthalic acid; and phosgene as carbonate precursor wherein a reaction of the acid and phosgene is carried out in a first stage forming dicarboxylic acid chloride; and then phosgene and bisphenol A are added in separate streams, simultaneously during most of the second or condensation stage. Thereby only one kettle is required for carrying out the complete polymer production.
