Abstract
The invention relates to the use of mixtures consisting of 5 to 95% by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate of which the linear chains contain from 0.1 mol-% to 50 mol-% bifunctional structural units corresponding to formula (1) ##STR1## and 95 to 5% by weight of a thermoplastic styrene polymer and, optionally, standard additives as substrates for optical storage media.
Claims6
A substrate for optical storage media consisting essentially of
- (a) 5 to 95% by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate resin the linear chains of which contain 0.1-50 mol. % of units corresponding to ##STR11## the balance conforming to ##STR12## wherein --O--D--O denotes the residue of a diphenolate other than that in formula (1) and
- (b) 5 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic styrene polymer.
A substrate for optical storage media consisting essentially of
- (a) 5 to 95% by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate resin the linear chains of which contain 0.1-50 mol. % of units corresponding to ##STR13## the balance conforming to ##STR14## wherein --O--D--O denotes the residue of a diphenolate other than in formula (1) and
- (b) 5 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic copolymer comprising styrene and at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of compounds containing at least one olefinic double bond, wherein styrene is present at an amount of 65 to 99% relative to the weight of the copolymer.
