CROSSLINKABLE POLYCYCLIC POLYCARBONATE OLIGOMERS AND METCROSSLINKABLE POLYCYCLIC POLYCARBONATE OLIGOMERS AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND USE HODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND USE

摘要

Polycyclic polycarbonate (or thiol analog) oligomers are prepared from a mixture of at least one bishaloformate with at least one tetraphenol, or thio analogs thereof. Such mixture may also contain at least one dihydroxy or dimercapto compound. The oligomers are formed by the reaction of such mixtures with alkali metal hydroxides and various amines. The polycyclic oligomer mixtures may be converted to crosslinked polycarbonates or their thiol analogs.
