The present invention relates to an aromatic polycarbonate obtained via the melt transesterification of a diaryl carbonate, a bisphenol and an endcapping agent selected from paracumyl phenol, dicumyl phenol, p-tert-butyl phenol and mixtures of at least two of said endcapping agents, said polycarbonate having a melt volume rate of at least 20 cm/10 min (ISO 1133, 300° C., 1.2 kg), a terminal hydroxyl group content of at most 800 ppm by weight, a Fries branching content of at most 1300 ppm by weight and a content of bulky end groups of at least 20 mol % defined as the sum of the mol % of end-groups based on said bisphenol and the mol % of end-groups based on said endcapping agent.

Polycarbonate

The disclosure concerns a polymer blend derived from transesterification of (i) 69.9 to 95 weight percent polycarbonate; and (ii) 4.9 to 30 weight percent liquid crystal polymer; in the presence of 0.01 to 0.1 weight percent catalyst; wherein the polymer is transparent.

Polycarbonate and liquid crystal polymer blends

The disclosure concerns a polymer derived from melt extrusion of (i) 80 to 95 wt % polycarbonate; said polycarbonate having and endcap level of 45% to 80% and a branching level of 300-5,000 m comprising the following branching structures: (ii) 4.9 to 20 wt % polymethyl methacrylate; and (iii) 0.1 to 1.5 wt % of catalyst; wherein the polymer is transparent, and wherein transesterification occurs with at least a portion of the polycarbonate and the polymethyl methacrylate during melt extrusion.

Polymer blends comprising polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate

A method for manufacturing graphene oxide nanoplatelets and derivative products and the graphene oxide nanoplatelets obtained, comprising two distinct phases, a first phase for obtaining an intermediate material consisting of carbon nanofilaments, each one having a structure comprising continuous ribbon of graphitic material with a small number of stacked monoatomic graphene layers and spirally rolled around and along the main axis of said nanofilaments, and a second phase wherein said carbon nanofilaments are subjected to a high-temperature treatment in order to clean said filaments and increase their degree of crystallinity. Once these nanofilaments are treated, a chemical etching is performed on them comprising an oxidation that causes the fragmentation of the carbon nanofilaments and starts a cleaving method that is completed by physical means in order to obtain graphene oxide nanoplatelets.
