Degradation behavior of polycarbonate during melt processing with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide

In this study, we aimed to enhance the reactivity of polycarbonate (PC) with the epoxy group of styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (SGMA) by introducing aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide during the melt processing of PC. This approach led to the generation of hydroxyl groups at the ends...
