Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A polycarbonate composition comprising in admixture a high molecular weight aromatic carbonate polymer and a minor amount of a polyolefin and a polyorganosiloxane of the following formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1 is a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, and halogenated derivatives of the aforesaid aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, alkoxy or aryloxy radicals; R 2 and R 3 are radicals selected from the group consisting of straight chain or branched lower alkyl radicals containing from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and phenyl radicals; and m is an integer of such value that the polyorganosiloxane is a fluid at ambient temperatures.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A polycarbonate composition comprising in admixture a high molecular weight aromatic carbonate polymer and a minor amount of a polyolefin and a polyorganosiloxane of the following formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1 is a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, and halogenated derivatives of the aforesaid aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, alkoxy or aryloxy radicals; R 2 and R 3 are radicals selected from the group consisting of straight chain or branched lower alkyl radicals containing from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and phenyl radicals; and m is an integer of such value that the polyorganosiloxane is a fluid at ambient temperatures.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
