Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 184 words
A UV-stabilised polycarbonate moulding with a thickness of 0.01 mm to 1.2 mm, made of a thermoplastic polydiorganosiloxane/polycarbonate block copolymer with a mean weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 10,000 to 200,000, consisting of (A) 85% by weight to 99.5% by weight, based on (A)+(B), of aromatic carbonate structural units of the general formula ##STR6## in which --O--D--O-- is a diphenate radical, (B) 15% by weight to 0.5% by weight, based on (A)+(B), of polydiorganisiloxane structural units of the general formula ##STR7## in which radicals R are identical or different and denote a linear C 1 -C 20 -alkyl, branched C 3 -C 20 -alkyl, halogenated linear C 1 -C 20 -alkyl, halogenated branched C 3 -C 20 -alkyl, C 6 -C 20 -aryl or halogenated C 6 -C 20 -aryl radical, n is an integer between 5 and 100 and --O--D--O-- has the foregoing meaning for its part of the structural unit of formula (I), and (C) structural units of chain stoppers and, if desired, branching agents, in which the block copolymer contains a UV absorber said UV absorber being concentrated on its surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 184 words
A UV-stabilised polycarbonate moulding with a thickness of 0.01 mm to 1.2 mm, made of a thermoplastic polydiorganosiloxane/polycarbonate block copolymer with a mean weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 10,000 to 200,000, consisting of (A) 85% by weight to 99.5% by weight, based on (A)+(B), of aromatic carbonate structural units of the general formula ##STR6## in which --O--D--O-- is a diphenate radical, (B) 15% by weight to 0.5% by weight, based on (A)+(B), of polydiorganisiloxane structural units of the general formula ##STR7## in which radicals R are identical or different and denote a linear C 1 -C 20 -alkyl, branched C 3 -C 20 -alkyl, halogenated linear C 1 -C 20 -alkyl, halogenated branched C 3 -C 20 -alkyl, C 6 -C 20 -aryl or halogenated C 6 -C 20 -aryl radical, n is an integer between 5 and 100 and --O--D--O-- has the foregoing meaning for its part of the structural unit of formula (I), and (C) structural units of chain stoppers and, if desired, branching agents, in which the block copolymer contains a UV absorber said UV absorber being concentrated on its surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 1, containing the UV absorber in an amount of 0.05% by weight to 1.0% by weight, based on the total weight of block copolymer and UV absorber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 2, containing the UV absorber in an amount of 0.1% to 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of block copolymer and UV absorber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 1, in which the UV absorber is selected from 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-isooctylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, 2-(2'-hydroxy-3'-tert.-butyl-5'-sec.-butylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole and 2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-dimethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 1, in which the block copolymer has a mean weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 20,000 to 100,000.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 41 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 1, which consists of (A) 90% to 99.5% by weight, based on (A)+(B) of structural units of formula (I) and (B) 10% to 0.5% by weight, based on (A)+(B) of structural units of formula (II).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 19 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 1, in which the diphenate radical --O--D--O-- has 6 to 30 carbon atoms.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words
A polycarbonate moulding composition according to claim 1 in which radicals R represent methyl groups.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 31 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 1, in the form of a cavity panel or webbed laminate panel with a flange thickness or web height of 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 21 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 1 in the form of a film with a thickness of 0.01 to 0.3 mm.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 21 words
A polycarbonate moulding according to claim 10 in the form of a film with a thickness of 0.05 to 0.1 mm.
