Abstract
Abstract Aromatic polycarbonate resin mixtures consisting essentially of an aromatic carbonate having the repetitive carbonate group <IMAGE> and in addition always the <IMAGE> RADICAL ATTACHED TO A CARBONATE GROUP AND A MODIFYING MINOR AMOUNT OF A POLYCAPROLACTONE POLYMER HAVING THE FORMULA <IMAGE> WHERE N IS GREATER THAN 100 AND LESS THAN 3000, EXHIBIT, AS COMPARED TO THOSE OF AROMATIC POLYCARBONATES ALONE, E.G. IMPROVED MELT STABILITY. The modified polycarbonates are produced by intimately premixing the polycarbonate with minor selected amounts of polycaprolactone.

Independent Claim
55 words
Resin mixtures consisting essentially of high molecular weight, thermoplastic polycarbonate based on dihydric phenols, and between about 0.1 and about 0.95 weight percent, referred to the total weight of polycarbonate and polycaprolactone of a polycaprolactone polymer having the repeating units given by the formula ##STR6## wherein n is greater than 100 and less than 3000.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
Resin mixtures consisting essentially of high molecular weight, thermoplastic polycarbonate based on dihydric phenols, and between about 0.1 and about 0.95 weight percent, referred to the total weight of polycarbonate and polycaprolactone of a polycaprolactone polymer having the repeating units given by the formula ##STR6## wherein n is greater than 100 and less than 3000.
