Abstract
There are disclosed carbonate polymers of dihydroxyaryl fluorene having crosslinkable moieties. There are also disclosed such polymers in the form of composites. The polymers of this invention are capable of being crosslinked by activation of the crosslinkable moieties. Once crosslinked, these polymers demonstrate an excellent combination of properties including resistance to melting at high temperatures, solvent resistance, optical clarity, impact resistance, and physical strength.
