ʻO ka polycarbonate (PC) ka papa polyester o ka waikawa carbonic, ʻaʻole paʻa ka ʻakika carbonic ponoʻī, akā ʻo kāna mau derivatives (e like me ka phosgene, urea, carbonate, carbonate) i kekahi kūpaʻa.

E like me ke ʻano o ka waiʻona ʻokoʻa, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka polycarbonate i ʻelua mau ʻāpana o ka aliphatic a me ka aromatic.

Aliphatic polycarbonate. E like me ka polyethylene-carbonate, polytrimethylene carbonate a me kāna copolymers, haʻahaʻa hoʻoheheʻe haʻahaʻa a me ke aniani hoʻololi mahana, ikaika maikaʻi ʻole, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e like me nā mea hana; akā, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i kona biocompatibility a me nā waiwai biodegradable, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i nā mea lawe hoʻokuʻu lohi i ka lāʻau, nā ʻokiʻoki ʻoki, nā mea kākoʻo iwi a me nā noi ʻē aʻe.

Kūleʻa ka Polycarbonate i nā ʻakika nāwaliwali, nā kumu nāwaliwali, a me nā aila kūʻole.

ʻAʻole kūpaʻa ka Polycarbonate i ke kukui ultraviolet a me nā alkali ikaika.

ʻO ka PC kahi polyester carbonate linear me nā pūʻulu ʻakika carbonic i loko o ka mole me kekahi mau hui ʻē aʻe i hiki ke ʻala, aliphatic, a i ʻole nā ​​mea ʻelua. ʻO Bisphenol kahi ʻano PC ʻo ia ka huahana ʻoihana koʻikoʻi.

ʻO ka PC kahi polimer amorphous aniani ʻaʻohe kala me nā waiwai optical maikaʻi. He kiʻekiʻe ka paʻakikī o ka resin molecular weight PC, cantilever beam notched impact strength of 600~900J/m, unfilled grade heat deflection temperature of about 130°C, glass fiber reinforced hiki ke hoʻonui i kēia waiwai e 10°C. Hiki i ka PC bending modulus ke piʻi aku ma mua o 2400MPa, hiki ke hana ʻia ka resin i nā huahana paʻa nui. He haʻahaʻa loa ka helu kolo ma lalo o 100°C. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka PC i ka hydrolysis a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no nā huahana i hoʻokau pinepine ʻia i ka mahu kiʻekiʻe.

ʻO nā hemahema o ka hana nui o ka PC ʻo ia ka nele o ka hydrolytic stability, ka naʻau i ka chipping, ke kūʻē ʻana i nā kemika organik, ka pale ʻana i ka ʻōpala, a me ka melemele mai ka wā lōʻihi i ka mālamalama UV. E like me nā resins ʻē aʻe, hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia ka PC e kekahi mau solvents organik.

ʻO nā mea PC he pale ahi. Kū'ē i ka oxidation.
