Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A METHOD OF PREPARING HIGH MODECULAR WEIGHT POLYCARONATE WHICH COMPRISES SUBJECTING A MIXTURE OF AN ALKYLENE 1,2-EPOXIDE OF UP TO 5 CARBON ATOMS AND CARBON DIOXIDE CONTAINING 0.01 TO 0.2 MOLE OF A DIHYDRIC ALCOHOL OF THE FORMULA HO-R-OH WHEREIN R IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKYLENE AND POLYALKYLENE ETHER RADICALS HAVING UP TO 10 CARBON ATOMS AND NO MORE THAN 4 ETHER LINKAGES PER MOLE OF EPOXIDE TO A TEMPERATURE ABOVE 100*C. BUT BELOW THAT A WHICH SUBSTANTIAL RUPTURE OF POLYCARBONATE OCCUR AND SUPERATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE WHEREBY TO COPOLYMERIZE CARBON DIOXIDE AND THE 1,2 EPOXIDE AND FORM HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHE POLYCARBONATE.
