The effect of oligomer blending on the flow properties of polycarbonate

The effect of oligomer blending on the flow properties of polycarbonate Abstract We successfully prepared high-flow polycarbonate (PC) by blending commercial PC with a low molecular weight PC oligomer. The oligomer was synthesized by the addition of a large quantity of mono functional phenol groups, and the chain end group was reacted withp-tertiary butyl phenol (PTBP) to block the reactivity. The viscosity average molecular weight (M v ) for the oligomer was about 4,000–5,000 g/mol, compared to ∼19,000 g/mol for the PC blend obtained by blending 10 wt% of the prepared oligomer with the commercial grade PC (M v of 21,000 g/mol). The blended PC had a melt flow index of 45, which is 2.5 times higher, and a processing temperature that was 20 °C lower, than that of commercial grade PC having a similarM v . http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png "Macromolecular Research" Springer Journals

Abstract We successfully prepared high-flow polycarbonate (PC) by blending commercial PC with a low molecular weight PC oligomer. The oligomer was synthesized by the addition of a large quantity of mono functional phenol groups, and the chain end group was reacted withp-tertiary butyl phenol (PTBP) to block the reactivity. The viscosity average molecular weight (M v ) for the oligomer was about 4,000–5,000 g/mol, compared to ∼19,000 g/mol for the PC blend obtained by blending 10 wt% of the prepared oligomer with the commercial grade PC (M v of 21,000 g/mol). The blended PC had a melt flow index of 45, which is 2.5 times higher, and a processing temperature that was 20 °C lower, than that of commercial grade PC having a similarM v .
