Degradation, environmental polycarbonate

Noncrystalline aromatic polycarbonates (qv) and polyesters (polyarylates) and alloys of polycarbonate with other thermoplastics are considered elsewhere, as are aHphatic polyesters derived from natural or biological sources such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), poly(glycoHde), or poly(lactide) these, too, are separately covered (see Polymers, environmentally degradable Sutures). Thermoplastic elastomers derived from poly(ester—ether) block copolymers such as PBT/PTMEG-T [82662-36-0] and known by commercial names such as Hytrel and Riteflex are included here in the section on poly(butylene terephthalate). Specific polymers are dealt with largely in order of volume, which puts PET first by virtue of its enormous market volume in bottie resin. [Pg.292]

Kynar and Tedlar (PVF3 and PVF) nearly met the desired specular transmittance and showed little or no optical and mechanical degradation after the equivalent of 16 years exposure. Metallzed polyesters and polycarbonates met initial optical and mechanical requirements but showed severe property degradation after relatively short environmental exposure. [Pg.99]
