What is the abbreviation for polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate (PC for short) PC board is a high molecular weight polymer containing carbonate groups in the molecular chain. According to the structure of the ester group, it can be divided into aliphatic, aromatic, aliphatic-aromatic and other types. Among them, the lower mechanical properties of aliphatic and aliphatic-aromatic polycarbonates limit their application in engineering plastics.

At present, only aromatic polycarbonate has obtained industrial production. Due to the structural particularity of polycarbonate PC board, it has become the fastest growing general engineering plastic among the five major engineering plastics.

Ingredient

Polycarbonate PC board is a tough thermoplastic resin whose name comes from the CO3 group inside. Can be synthesized by bisphenol A and carbon oxychloride (COCl2). The most commonly used method is the melt transesterification method (bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate are synthesized through transesterification and polycondensation reactions).
