Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic copolyester-carbonate resins are described, having included in their polymer chains, moieties of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents alkyl of from about 10 to 36 carbon atoms, inclusive, a and b are each whole number integers of from 0 to 1; and the sum of a+b is 1. The resins are useful as molding compositions and as mold release additives for polycarbonate and copolyester-carbonate molding compositions.
