Bio-sourced polycarbonate compositions comprising, for example, a styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene polymer are disclosed. These polycarbonate compositions can exhibit improved ductility and/or ageing resistance compared to conventional polycarbonate compositions. Methods for the preparation of the bio-sourced polycarbonate compositions are also disclosed.

Bio-sourced transparent and ductile polycarbonate blends

Polycarbonate compositions having flame retardant properties and improved impact resistance are disclosed, together with methods for preparing the same.

Flame retardant bio-based polymer blends

A thermoplastic composition, comprising: about 10 to about 84 wt. % of a polycarbonate resin; about 0.5 to about 40 wt. % of a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer; 1 to about 40 wt. % of an impact modifier composition; and about 1 to about 50 wt. % of an alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; each based on the total combined weight of the thermoplastic composition, exclusive of any filler. In another embodiment, the thermoplastic composition may comprise about 10 to about 85 wt. % of a polycarbonate resin; about 1 to about 40 wt. % of an impact modifier composition; and about 1 to about 50 wt. % of an impact-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; each based on the total combined weight of the thermoplastic composition, exclusive of any filler. The compositions have improved weld line strength, and are useful in the manufacture of molded parts, especially for electronic devices.
