Market Innovative Transparent Polycarbonate Development
Polycarbonates are a family of engineering plastics having functional groups linked together by carbonate groups [-O-(C=O)-O-] into a long molecular chain. A research team from Bayer MaterialScience has formulated a high-purity grade of Makrolon polycarbonate (PC) with outstanding optical properties that makes possible the manufacture of flat-screen televisions in unprecedented sizes, while ensuring optimal brightness for liquid-crystal displays (LCDs).
