Polycarbonate Engineering Thermoplastic from the Industrial Point of View

It is well known that the aromatic polycarbonate of bisphenol A (hereafter BPA polycarbonate) possesses superior transparency, exceptional toughness, high heat resistance and mechanical properties, which allow it to be diversely used for automotive, electrical, electronic, appliance and optical industries. In this paper, polycarbonate is reviewed on not only prospects of technology but market trend from the industrial point of view. It also demonstrates the diverse applications of polycarbonates with respect to its development history.
