Advances in Polycarbonates includes such topics as theory and modelling, synthesis of new polycarbonates, characterization, development of enhanced properties in polycarbonates (such as conductivity, weatherability, higher heat or better low temperature ductility), recycling, and process chemistry. A variety of international researchers from industry, government, and academia have provided a diverse array of recent research.
BPA-Polycarbonate is a versatile engineering material with a combination of many important properties: optical-quality transparency and birefringence, high refractive index, high glass transition temperature, exceptional impact strength and good processability. Fifty years after its discovery, academic and industrial polycarbonate research continues to grow annually. Polycarbonates are used in a very large variety of applications, ranging from optical recording media (CD, DVD, etc.),
sporting equipment, unbreakable glazing materials, lighting, medical equipment, and automotive exteriors and interiors.
