ʻO Polycarbonate (PC) kahi polymer e loaʻa ana i ka hui carbonate i ka kaulahao molekiola. Wahi a ke ʻano o ka hui ester, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i aliphatic, aromatic, aliphatic - aromatic a me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe. ʻO nā pono mechanical mehana o ka aliphatic a me ka aliphatic aromatik polycarbonate e kaupalena i kā lākou noi i nā ʻenehana plastics. ʻO polycarbonate ʻaʻala wale nō i hana ʻia me kahi ʻoihana. Ma muli o ka kikoʻī o ka hanana polycarbonate, ua lilo ʻo PC i nā plastics ʻenehana laulā me ka ulu wikiwiki i waena o nā ʻelima hana ʻenehana.
ʻAʻole kūpaʻa ʻo PC i nā kukui ultraviolet, alkali ikaika, a me nā ʻōpala. Huli melemele me ka hōʻike lōʻihi i ultraviolet. No laila, pono ka pono no nā mea hoʻohui i hoʻololi ʻia.
