Abstract
Carbonate polymer compositions are rendered gamma ray resistant by the incorporation of 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of the esters of aromatic polycarboxylic acids such as terephthalic, isophthalic, phthalic, trimellitic, hemimellitic, trimesic, and prehnitic acids with the monoalkyl or monoaryl ethers of polyglycols. The compositions have reduced yellowing after exposure to cobalt 60 radiation.
