A multilayer thermoplastic film having polycarbonate layers is disclosed, in which a first layer comprises a first polycarbonate that comprises repeat units derived from one or more of a monoaryl monomer (II) and/or (III), and a diaryl monomer (IV) as defined herein. A second layer, adjacent to the first layer and coextruded therewith, comprises another polycarbonate that is not the same as a polycarbonate in the first layer. The first layer provides improved properties, for example hardness, impact, and/or scratch resistance.

Multilayer films for insert mold decoration, methods for making the same, and articles made therefrom

A method of making a thermoplastic composition comprises melt blending a reaction mixture comprising a first polycarbonate comprising repeat units derived from monoaryl monomers (II) and (III) and a diaryl monomer (IV), wherein the sum of the mole percent of the repeat units derived from monomers (II) and (III) is greater than or equal to 30 mole percent, and the mole percent of the repeat units derived from monomer (IV) is 5 to 70 mole percent, each based on the total moles the repeat units derived from monomers (II), (III), and (IV), and the total weight of the repeat units derived from monomers (II), (III), and (IV) is greater than or equal to 90 wt. % of the first polycarbonate; and an additional polycarbonate, comprising 50 to 100 mole percent of repeat units derived from a bisphenol cyclohexane.
