A polycarbonate resin with a polystyrene-converted weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 20,000 to 200,000 obtained by forming a carbonate bond from a dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1), a dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (2) and bis(hydroxyphenyl) methane and a carbonic acid diester or phosgene, having higher stiffness and better balance of mechanical properties than conventional aromatic polycarbonate resin to be derived from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane.

Polycarbonate resin

A process for producing a polycarbonate molded article having a low dust level from a polycarbonate resin in the form of a powder or pellets by injection molding using an injection molding machine. The injection molding machine includes a cylinder whose inner circumferential wall is made of a corrosion- and abrasion-resistant alloy from alloy components (1), (2), or (3) given below and a screw part made of a steel having a metal coating formed of hard chromium plating or hard nickel plating or formed of titanium carbide or tungsten carbide, or is made of SUS420, SUS440, Hastelloy C, or a steel of alloy component (4) given below:

Process for producing low-dust-level polycarbonate molded article

A gas-barrier multilayered structure comprising (A) at least one layer of a copolyamide composed of (a) a dicarboxylic acid component composed of 55 to 70 mole % of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid component and 45 to 30 mole % of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component consisting substantially of 20 to 30 mole % of isophthalic acid and 5 to 20 mole % of terephthalic acid, and (b) a diamine component composed substantially of a m-xylylenediamine component, and (B) at least one layer of a thermoplastic resin other than the copolyamide. Instead of the layer (A), there can be used (A') at least one layer of a mixture of 40 to 60 % by weight of a first copolyamide composed of (a) a dicarboxylic acid component composed of 55 to 70 mole % of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid component and 45 to 30 mole % of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component consisting substantially of 20 to 30 mole % of isophthalic acid and 5 to 20 mole % of terephthalic acid and (b) a diamine component composed substantially of m-xylylenediamine and 60 to 40 % by weight of a second polyamide composed of a dicarboxylic acid component consisting substantially of an aliphthalic dicarboxylic acid component and a diamine component consisting substantially of a m-xylylenediamine component.
