Abstract

Abstract A polycarbonate resin solution for use in film formation by casting and a process for producing the same are disclosed. The polycarbonate resin solution comprising an organic solvent and dissolved therein a random coplycarbonate resin having a structural unit of formula (1) and a structural unit of formula (2), with the molar ratio of the structural unit of formula (1) to that of formula (2) in all the structural units being from 0.1 to 50% by weight. The polycarbonate resin having a viscosity average molecular weight of from 15,000 to 100,000.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 224 words
A polycarbonate resin solution for use in film formation by casting which comprises an organic solvent and dissolved therein a random copolycarbonate resin having a structural unit represented by the following formula (1), a structural unit represented by the following formula (2), and a structural unit represented by the following formula (3), with the molar ratio of the amount of the structural unit of formula (1) to that of the structural unit of formula (2) being from 35/65 to 65/35 and the content of the structural unit of formula (3) in all the structural units being from 0.1 to 50% by weight, and having a viscosity-average molecular weight of from 15,000 to 100,000: wherein in formulae (1) and (2), R¹ to R⁸ each represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, X represents a straight-chain, branched, or cyclic alkylidene group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl-substituted alkylidene group, an arylene group, or sulfonyl group, and Y represents oxygen atom or sulfur atom; and in formula (3), R⁹ represents an alkylene or alkylidene group having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R¹⁰ and R¹¹ each represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, phenyl group, or a substituted phenyl group, and n is an integer of from 1 to 200.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 15 words
A solution as claimed in claim 1, wherein said organic solvent is a non-halogenated solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
A solution as claimed in claim 1, which has a polycarbonate resin concentration of from 1 to 30% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
A solution as claimed in claim 1, wherein said structural unit represented by formula (1) is derived from a dihydric phenol selected from the group consisting of bisphenol A, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane, α,α-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylbenzene, 2,2-bis(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, and bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfone.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
A solution as claimed in claim 1, wherein said structural unit represented by formula (2) is derived from bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) ether or bis(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) ether.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
A solution as claimed in claim 1, wherein said structural unit represented by formula (2) is derived from bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfide or bis (3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim 230 words
A process for producing a polycarbonate resin solution suitable for use in film formation by casting, which comprises copolymerizing a dihydric phenol represented by the following formula (4), a dihydric phenol represented by the following formula (5), and a dihydric phenol represented by the following formula (6), with the molar ratio of the amount of the dihydric phenol of formula (4) to that of the dihydric phenol of formula (5) being from 35/65 to 65/35 and the amount of the dihydric phenol of formula (6) being from 0.1 to 50% by weight based on the total amount of all the dihydric phenols, thereby to produce a random copolycarbonate resin having a viscosity-average molecular weight of from 15,000 to 100,000: wherein in formulae (4) and (5), R¹ to R⁸ each represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, X represents a straight-chain, branched, or cyclic alkylidene group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl-substituted alkylidene group, an arylene group, or sulfonyl group, and Y represents oxygen atom or sulfur atom; and in formula (6), R⁹ represents an alkylene or alkylidene group having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R¹⁰ and R¹¹ each represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, phenyl group, or a substituted phenyl group, and n is an integer of from 1 to 200.
