Polycarbonate copolymer and associated film extrusion composition, extruded film, and capacitor
A composition includes specific amounts of a copolycarbonate and a roughening agent. The copolycarbonate contains first carbonate units derived from a first bisphenol monomer such that a homopolycarbonate of the first bisphenol monomer has a glass transition temperature less than 155° C., and second carbonate units derived from a second bisphenol monomer such that a homopolycarbonate of the second bisphenol monomer has a glass transition temperature of 155° C. or higher. The roughening agent includes a particulate crosslinked polymethylsilsesquioxane having a median equivalent spherical diameter greater than 5 micrometers and less than or equal to 10 micrometers.
1. A composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition:
65 to 99.95 weight percent of a copolycarbonate comprising
first carbonate units derived from a first bisphenol monomer such that a homopolycarbonate of the first bisphenol monomer has a glass transition temperature less than 155° C. determined by dynamic mechanical analysis according to ASTM E1640-13 at a heating rate of 1° C./minute, and
second carbonate units derived from a second bisphenol monomer such that a homopolycarbonate of the second bisphenol monomer has a glass transition temperature of 155° C. or higher determined by dynamic mechanical analysis according to ASTM E1640-13 at a heating rate of 1° C./minute; and
0.05 to 2 weight percent of a roughening agent comprising a particulate crosslinked polymethylsilsesquioxane having a median equivalent spherical diameter greater than 5 micrometers and less than or equal to 10 micrometers determined by laser diffraction according to ISO 13320:2009.
