Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 30 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the carbonate polymer contains from about 5 to about 50 weight percent of the fibrous glass based on the total weight of the composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 14 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the carbonate polymer is a homopolymer of bisphenol-A.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the carbonate polymer is a copolymer of at least 35 weight percent of bisphenol-A with the balance being tetrachlorobisphenol-A.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 11 words
