Abstract
Thermoplastic polyphosphonatocarbonate prepared by polycondensing at least one aromatic dihydroxy compound with a diaryl carbonate and a phosphonic acid diaryl ester in the presence of a basic polycondensation catalyst at a temperature of from 80.degree. to 340.degree. and under a pressure of 600 to 0.1 mm Hg in an inert gaseous atmosphere, the molar ratio of diaryl carbonate to phosphonic diaryl ester being from 5:95 to 95:5 and the molar ratio of aromatic dihydroxy compound to the sum of diaryl carbonate and phosphonic acid diaryl ester being from 0.91:1 to 0.99:1, and following polycondensation, neutralizing said basic catalyst.
Claims4
A process for preparing an aromatic, thermoplastic polyphosphonatocarbonate which comprises polycondensing (a) at least one aromatic dihydroxy compound having 6 to 30 carbon atoms with (b) a diaryl carbonate having 6 to 14 carbon atoms in each aryl moiety and (c) a phosphonic acid diaryl ester having 6 to 14 carbon atoms in each aryl moiety in the pressure of a catalytic amount of a basic polycondensation catalyst at a temperature of from 80.degree. to 340.degree. C. and under a pressure of from 600 to 0.1 mm Hg in an inert gaseous atmosphere, the molar ratio of (b) to (c) being from 5:95 to 95:5 and the molar ratio of (a) to the sum of (b) and (c) being from 0.91:1 to 0.99:1, and following polycondensation, neutralizing said basic catalyst.
