The invention relates to the use of PMMI copolymers for reducing the decrease in molecular weight of the polymer induced by addition of talc in compositions based on aromatic polycarbonate. At the same time, the mechanical, optical and rheological properties of the thermoplastic composition, in spite of the addition of the PMMI copolymer, remain good and are in some cases even improved.

Talc-filled polycarbonate compositions

The invention relates to the use of PMMI copolymers for reducing the molecular weight degradation of the polymer induced by oxides such as titanium dioxide or silicon dioxide in compositions based on aromatic polycarbonate. The mechanical, optical and rheological properties of the thermoplastic composition remain good and are in some cases even improved despite the addition of the PMMI copolymer.

Stabilized, filled polycarbonate compositions

The invention relates to compositions containing at least one (co)polycarbonate stable at high temperature and at least one ethylene-alkyl acrylate block copolymer, and to moldings and injection molded parts and extrudates obtainable from these compositions.

Polycarbonate compositions having improved mechanical properties

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic molding composition composed of polycarbonate and inorganic fillers which comprises from 0.01 to 0.5 part by weight of at least one anhydride-modified alpha-olefin terpolymer and which has a high degree of rigidity and nevertheless exhibits good strength, as well as stress-strain characteristics corresponding to those of an unreinforced polycarbonate. Surprisingly, the molding composition additionally exhibits an improvement in flame retardancy. The invention relates in particular to flame-retardant, thermoplastic molding compositions filled with glass fibers, and to the production and use thereof. The property profile is, surprisingly, independent of the degree of interaction of the filler with the polycarbonate matrix.
