Methods for preparing pre-dynamic cross-linked polymer compositions are described. Methods of preparing dynamic cross-linked polymer compositions using pre-dynamic cross-linked polymer compositions are also described.

Methods of forming dynamic cross-linked polymer compositions

A polycarbonate composition comprises: 30 to 95 wt % of one or more bisphenol A polycarbonate homopolymers; and 5 to 70 wt % of a poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer with a siloxane content of 10 wt. % to 25 wt. % based on the total weight of the poly(carbonate-siloxane), in an amount effective to provide a total siloxane content of 0.5 wt. % to 17.5 wt. % based on the total weight of the composition; the poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising bisphenol carbonate units and siloxane units of the formulas or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing, wherein E has an average value of 10 to 100, preferably 20 to 60, more preferably 30 to 50; wherein in the poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer less than 0.5 mol % of the siloxane units are directly coupled to another siloxane units.

Polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer compositions for mobile phone housing applications

A polycarbonate composition comprises: a first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer, comprising a polysiloxane block with an average block length of 10 to 100, and a siloxane content from 5 wt % to 10 wt %; and a second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising a polysiloxane block with an average block length of 10 to 100, and a siloxane content from 30 wt % to 60 wt %; wherein the weight ratio of the first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer to the second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer is greater than or equal to 2 to less than 8; and a bisphenol A homopolycarbonate, wherein the polycarbonate composition has a total siloxane content of 2.5 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the composition; and a molded part of 1 mm thickness has a haze of less than 10% as measured by HazeGard (ASTM D1003-00).

Polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer compositions, articles formed therefrom, and methods of manufacture thereof

A polycarbonate composition comprises: a first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising carbonate units and siloxane units, wherein less than 0.5 mol % of the siloxane units are directly coupled to another siloxane unit; the first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising siloxane units with an average block length of about 10 to about 100, and a siloxane content from 5 wt % to 8 wt %; a second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising carbonate units and siloxane units, wherein less than 0.5 mol % of the siloxane units are directly coupled to another siloxane unit; the second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer comprising siloxane units with an average block length of 10 to 100, a siloxane content from 10 wt % to 30 wt %, and wherein the weight ratio of the first poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer to the second poly(carbonate-siloxane) copolymer is 2 to 20; and optionally a bisphenol polycarbonate; wherein the polycarbonate composition has a total siloxane content of 2.5 wt % to 10 wt % and a molded part of 1 mm thickness has a haze of less than 2% as measured by HazeGard (ASTM D1003-00).
