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

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

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
