Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
50 words
A ternary polycarbonate composition comprising in admixture, a major amount of a high molecular weight aromatic polycarbonate, a minor amount of an acrylate copolymer which is a copolymer of a C 1 -C 5 acrylate and a C 1 -C 5 methacrylate, and a minor amount of a thermoplastic polyester.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
50 words
A ternary polycarbonate composition comprising in admixture, a major amount of a high molecular weight aromatic polycarbonate, a minor amount of an acrylate copolymer which is a copolymer of a C 1 -C 5 acrylate and a C 1 -C 5 methacrylate, and a minor amount of a thermoplastic polyester.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said acrylate copolymer is present in an amount of about 2-4.25 parts by weight per hundred parts of aromatic polycarbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said thermoplastic polyester is present in an amount of about 0.5-2.5 parts by weight per hundred parts of aromatic polycarbonate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composition of claim 3 wherein said thermoplastic polyester is present in an amount of about 1.0-2.0 parts by weight per hundred parts of aromatic polycarbonate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the acrylate portion of said acrylate copolymer is selected from the group consisting of ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, 1,3-butylene diacrylate, isobutyl acrylate, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate and methyl acrylate and the methacrylate portion of said acrylate copolymer is selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, 1,3 butylene dimethacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
136 words
A ternary polycarbonate composition comprising an admixture of a high molecular weight aromatic polycarbonate; an acrylate copolymer in an amount of about 2-4.25 parts by weight per hundred parts of said aromatic polycarbonate, said acrylate copolymer being a copolymer of a C 1 -C 5 acrylate and a C 1 -C 5 methacrylate, said acrylate being a member selected from the group consisting of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, 1,3-butylene diacrylate, isobutyl acrylate, and 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, and said methacrylate being a member selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, and 1,3-butylene dimethacrylate; and, a thermoplastic polyester in an amount of about 0.5-2.5 parts by weight per hundred parts of said aromatic polycarbonate and selected from the group consisting of poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene terephthalate), cyclohexylenedimethanol copolymer, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
136 words
