Abstract
Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate molding compositions are taught which have improved mechanical properties. This improvement is achieved by incorporating between about 0.5 to 5 wt.% of organopolysiloxanes into the composition. The compositions of this invention have improved impact, notched impact and elongation properties without a loss in elastic modulus.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
Thermoplastic moulding compositions consisting of A. about 45-89.5% by weight of high molecular weight, thermoplastic polycarbonates based on diphenols having weight-average molecular weights, M w , between about 10,000 and 100,000, B. about 10-50% by weight of glass fibers, and C. about 0.5-5% by weight of organopolysiloxanes having a viscosity between about 5 and 300,000 cSt at 20° C. which are obtained by hydrolysis or cohydrolysis of the monomers ##STR4## in which R', which may be the same or different, is H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl or phenyl, and the sum of the percentages by weight of A+B+C being 100 in each case.
