ABSTRACT:
Polycarbonates are recycled without the need for chemical modification by dissolution in a solvent followed by removal of any insoluble materials and precipitation by addition of a non-solvent. The precipitation step may be followed by solid state polymerization of the recycled polycarbonate. Particularly when solid state polymerization is to be performed, the use of a combination of solvent and non-solvent which produces a crystalline intermediate is performed, and use of a modifying reagent increasing the hydroxy end group concentration of the polycarbonate may be advantageous.
