Abstract
Abstract A new copolymer comprising polycarbonate blocks of general formula (I), and polydimethylsiloxane blocks of general formula (II), wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, having a polydimethylsiloxane block content of 0.5 to 10 wt%, a n-hexane solubles cotent of 1.0 wt% or below, and a viscosity-average molecular weight of 10,000 to 50,000. It has a high impact resistance and gives a molding material with a remarkably high Izod impact strength when mixed with glass fiber or the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A polycarbonate-polydimethylsiloxane copolymer comprising a polycarbonate block represented by the formula wherein R¹ and R² independently represent hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 - 4 carbon atoms, R³ and R⁴ independently represent hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl group having 1 - 20 carbon atoms or an aryl group, x denotes an integer of 1 - 5, y denotes an integer of 1 - 4 and n denotes an integer of 1 - 100, and a polydimethylsiloxane block represented by the formula wherein R⁵ and R⁶ independently represent an organic residue having an aromatic nucleus, and m denotes an integer of not less than 100, characterized in that the copolymer has a content of the polydimethylsiloxane block portion of 0.5 - 10% by weight, a n-hexane soluble matter in an amount of 1.0% by weight or less and a viscosity average molecular weight of 10,000 - 50,000.
