Silicone Block Polymers: 1. BPF Carbonate-Silicone Block Polymers: Production of Optical Grade Extrudates 2. Flammability of Silicone Block Polymers.

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of two efforts dealing with silicone block polymers. The object of the first effort was to produce colorless transparent extrudates of bisphenol fluorenone carbonate-dimethylsiloxane (BPFC/DMS) block polymer elastoplastics suitable for use in aircraft transparencies. The objects of the second effort were to assess the extent to which silicone incorporation can enhance the flame resistance of organic polymers generally and to develop a better understanding of the mechanism of the enhancement already known to exist in polycarbonate-silicone block polymers.
