Abstract
Abstract A polymer blend comprising a polyalkylene terephthalate, an organopolysiloxane-polycarbonate block copolymer, and a halogenated copolycarbonate having improved impact, heat distortion and flame retardant properties. The polymer blends can be molded or formed into films, sheets, fibers, laminates, or other improved molded articles of manufacture, including reinforced articles by conventional techniques.
