Abstract
Thermal degradation of poly(2,2',-propane-bis-4-phenyl carbonate) or b isphenol A polycarbonate (PC) alone and in presence of metal oxide as additives have been discussed. Thermal degradation of PC in presence o f metal oxide additives may be surface induced catalytic thermo-oxidat ive degradation. Some metal oxides retard thermo-oxidative degradation of PC.
