Abstract
Polycarbonate polymers comprising non-aromatic cyclic groups bonded with carbonate linking groups are described. A portion of the non-aromatic cyclic groups comprise a substituent having siloxane repeat units. Representative formulas of the substituents having siloxane repeat units include —CH—CH—Si(R)—(OSi(R)—R, and —CH[Si(R)—(OSi(R))—R]—CH; wherein m is the number of siloxane repeat units; and Rand Rare independently alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or aralkylene. The polycarbonate polymer C typically comprises a high concentration of carbonate linking group, for example in an amount of at least 85 or 90 mol % or greater N based on the total linking groups of the polymer. Also described are compositions comprising the polycarbonate polymer and methods of making.
