Polycarbonate (PC) shine nau'in polyester na carbonic acid, carbonic acid da kansa ba shi da kwanciyar hankali, amma abubuwan da suka samo asali (irin su phosgene, urea, carbonate, carbonate) suna da wani kwanciyar hankali.

Dangane da tsarin barasa daban-daban, ana iya raba polycarbonate zuwa kashi biyu na aliphatic da aromatic.

Aliphatic polycarbonate. Irin su polyethylene-carbonate, polytrimethylene carbonate da copolymers, ƙananan narkewa da zafin jiki na gilashi, ƙarancin ƙarfi, ba za a iya amfani da su azaman kayan gini ba; amma ana iya amfani da abubuwan da ba su dace ba da kuma abubuwan da za su iya rayuwa, a cikin masu ɗaukar jinkirin sakin ƙwayoyi, sutures ɗin tiyata, kayan tallafin kashi da sauran aikace-aikace.

Polycarbonate yana da juriya ga raunin acid, raunin tushe, da mai tsaka tsaki.

Polycarbonate baya jure wa hasken ultraviolet da alkalis mai ƙarfi.

PC shine polyester carbonate na layi tare da madadin ƙungiyoyin carbonic acid a cikin kwayar halitta tare da wasu ƙungiyoyi waɗanda zasu iya zama aromatic, aliphatic, ko duka biyun. Bisphenol A nau'in PC shine mafi mahimmancin samfurin masana'antu.

PC shine polymer amorphous gilashi kusan mara launi tare da kyawawan kaddarorin gani. Babban guduro mai nauyi na ƙwayoyin cuta na PC yana da ƙarfi mai ƙarfi, ƙanƙarar katako ta lura da ƙarfin tasirin 600 ~ 900J/m, yanayin zafin da ba a cika ba na kusan 130 ° C, fiber gilashin da aka ƙarfafa zai iya sa wannan ƙimar ta ƙaru da 10 ° C. PC lankwasawa modules iya isa fiye da 2400MPa, da guduro za a iya sarrafa a cikin manyan m kayayyakin. Matsakaicin ragi a ƙarƙashin kaya yana ƙasa da ƙasa 100 ° C. PC yana da rashin juriya ga hydrolysis kuma ba za a iya amfani da shi ba don samfuran da aka maimaita akai-akai ga tururi mai ƙarfi.

Babban raunin aikin PC shine rashin kwanciyar hankali na hydrolytic, hankali ga chipping, juriya ga sinadarai na halitta, juriya mara kyau, da rawaya daga bayyanar dogon lokaci zuwa hasken UV. Kamar sauran resins, PC yana da saukin kamuwa da yashewa ta wasu kaushi na halitta.

Kayayyakin PC suna dajin wuta. Juriya ga oxidation.
