Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
36 words
A process which comprises reacting interfacially a dihydric phenol, a carbonate precursor and a prior prepared salt of an aliphatic alpha omega dicarboxylic acid having from 8 to about 20 carbon atoms thereby producing a copolyestercarbonate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process which comprises reacting interfacially a dihydric phenol, a carbonate precursor and a prior prepared salt of an aliphatic alpha omega dicarboxylic acid having from 8 to about 20 carbon atoms thereby producing a copolyestercarbonate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process in accordance with claim 1 wherein at least about 99% of the diacid is incorporated with the copolyestercarbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process in accordance with claim 1 wherein essentially all of the diacid is incorporated into the copolyestercarbonate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
