Disclosed is a transparent/translucent molding composition and process for making prepared from an impact modifier and a resin blend of polycarbonate and a cycloaliphatic polyester having a matching index of refraction.

Transparent polycarbonate polyester composition and process

A composition comprising a blend of: from 1 to 99 weight percent of a polycarbonate comprising from 10 to 90 mole percent of one or more arylate carbonate units of the formula wherein each Ris independently a Chydrocarbon, halogen, or halogen-substituted Chydrocarbon, and u is 0 to 4; and from 10 to 90 mole percent of different carbonate units of the formula wherein at least 60% of the Rgroups are Caromatic groups, and from 1 to 99 weight percent of a polyester comprising units of the formula wherein T is a residue derived from a C-Ccycloaliphatic or C-Caromatic dicarboxylic acid or a chemical equivalent thereof, and D is a residue derived from a C-Caromatic or C-Caliphatic diol or a chemical equivalent thereof, provided that at least 50 mole percent of D is derived from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol or a chemical equivalent thereof; and wherein the weight percent of the polycarbonate and the polyester are each based on the total weight of the polycarbonate and the polyester.

Polycarbonate-polyester blends, methods of manufacture, and methods of use

A stabilized thermoplastic resin composition is disclosed which comprises structural units derived at least one substituted or unsubstituted polycarbonate, at least one substituted or unsubstituted polyester and a combination of at least two quenchers, wherein said quencher is selected from a group consisting of phosphorus compound, carboxylic acid, derivates of carboxylic acids, epoxy functional polymers and boron compound. Also disclosed is a stabilized thermoplastic resin composition comprising: structural units derived at least one substituted or unsubstituted polycarbonate, at least one substituted or unsubstituted polyester, an epoxy functional polymers and a combination of at least one quenchers, wherein said quencher is selected from a group consisting of phosphorus compounds, carboxylic acid compounds, polyols, and boron compounds. In addition the composition disclosed possess good optical properties, thermal properties and stability.

Stabilized polycarbonate polyester composition

An clear coated article formed from a transparent/translucent molding composition comprising a uniform miscible resin blend of a polycarbonate resin and a cycloaliphatic polyester resin, said cycloaliphatic polyester resin comprising the reaction product of an aliphatic C-Cdiol or chemical equivalent and a C-Caliphatic diacid or chemical equivalent, said cycloaliphatic polyester resin contains at least about 80% by weight of a cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acid, or chemical equivalent, and/or of a cycloaliphatic diol or chemical equivalent, wherein the cycloaliphatic polyester resin and the polycarbonate resin have a viscosity selected for enhancing the adhesion of the clear coat to the article.

Polycarbonate polyester articles with enhanced adhesion between outer layer and base substrate

A transparent/translucent flame redardant composition comprises a uniform blend of a miscible resin blend of a polycarbonate resin and a cycloaliphatic polyester resin wherein the composition has at least a 80% pass rate in 10 test specimen in the Norme Francaise NF-P-92-505 flammability test of L'Association Francaise de Normalisation using test specimens with weight between about 1.0 to about 6.0 kilograms per square meter.

Flame retardant polycarbonate polyester composition

An article comprises a formed polymeric base comprising a substantially transparent cycloaliphatic polyester resin having a decorative surface area which may have an opening for exposing the transparent polymeric base resin to the exterior of the molded article, and a process for making the molded structure is described.

Formed decorative article

A molded structure comprises a decorative film or substrate, and an adjacent injection molded polymeric base comprising a substantially transparent cycloaliphatic polyester resin which may have an opening for exposing the transparent polymeric base resin to the exterior of the molded article, and a process for making the molded structure is described.

Insert molded article

Translucent polycarbonate compositions include an aromatic polycarbonate, a cycloaliphatic polyester, and a polyolefin. The compositions have excellent optical characteristics and superior physical properties, particularly low-temperature impact strength, compared to translucent polycarbonate-polyester blends requiring inorganic fillers.

Translucent polycarbonate composition, method for preparation thereof, and articles derived therefrom

In process for making a polyesteramide composition, an alkyl aryl terephthalate ester is formed from a dialkyl terephthalate by transesterification and then reacted with an alkyl diamine to form a bis-ester amide wherein the reaction product containing the bis-ester amide may be directly contacted with an alkyl diamine without the need for purification steps.

Process for preparing ester amides and polyesteramides

A thermoplastic resin composition comprises units represented by the amide formula (I): ##STR1## and the ester formula (II): ##STR2## wherein said amide units are present as a physical mixture in said resin or as a polymer with the repeating ester units to impart an enhanced crystallization rate as compared to said resin without said amide units of formula (I), said amide units being present in an effective amount to decrease the difference between the temperature of melting and the temperature of crystallization of said resin to an amount less than 5 mole percent of amide unites of formula (I) based on the moles of ester units of formula (II).

Amide modified polyesters

A method of recovering dihydric phenol, particularly bisphenol-A, from compositions containing the reaction residue of bisphenol-A units which method comprises:
