Abstract
Abstract Transparent impact-, heat- and fire-resistant polymeric materials for making windows, windshields and plane canopies are provided wherein the polymeric materials comprise an exposy resin cured with an alkoxy boroxine catalyst and a polycarbonate resin, preferably a polyphenolphthalein carbonate resin. Laminates including the advantages of both resins comprise a transparent layer of epoxy resin and a transparent layer of a polycarbonate resin joined together with a transparent adhesive interlayer.
