Polycarbonates and, in particular, the polycarbonate derived from bisphenol A, are useful as transparent and impact-resistant structural plastics (1). However, further modification of the arylene carbonate backbone by incorporation of siloxane segments has been of interest and has been investigated by a number of workers during the last decade. The main objective of such modification has been to decrease the glass-transition temperature of the polycarbonate and thereby obtain transparent elastomeric polymers. Such macromolecules are hybrids between arylene carbonate and siloxane polymers. Two main types of hybrid arylene carbonate-siloxane polymers were obtained in these investigations: (a) block copolymers with backbones comprised of arylene carbonate and siloxane blocks, and (b) alternating homopolymers, I, the backbones of which consisted of regularly alternating siloxanylene and arylene carbonate segments. While the length of the

blocks in the block copolymers investigated varied within the given copolymer and usually contained several tens or hundreds 1

MODIFICATION OF POLYMERS

4. Polycondensation of Bis-silanols, III, with Diacetoxy­ silanes, Diacetoxydisiloxanes or Diacetoxytrisiloxanes. A mix­ ture of 12.00 mmole of a bis-silanol, III, 12.00 mmole of a diacetoxysilane, diacetoxydisiloxane or diacetoxytrisiloxane, 4.4 ml of collidine, and 10 ml of toluene was magnetically stirred at room temperature in a sealed flask in an atmosphere of dry nitrogen for two days. The solution was then either allowed to stand for an additional four days or was refluxed for four hours under a positive pressure of dry nitrogen. The resulting polymer product was isolated by precipitation with methanol as described above.
