Poly(etherimide-carbonate)block copolymers and polymer blends containing same

摘要

Novel block copolymers containing polyetherimide and polycarbonate segments are prepared from hydroxy terminated polyetherimide oligomers, a dihydric phenol and phosgene or a phosgene precursor. The segmented block copolymers exhibit improved toughness and are useful as engineering thermoplastics, alone, or in combination with other resins.
