The present invention relates to a production method of a poly(ester)carbonate, including subjecting a diol and a carbonate ester to a transesterification reaction in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalyst comprises aluminum or a compound thereof, and a phosphorus compound.

Provided is a polycarbonate of Chemical Formula 1: ##STR00001## wherein in Chemical Formula 1: Ar is C.sub.6-60 arylene unsubstituted or substituted with C.sub.1-10 alkyl; and n and m are each independently an integer from 1 to 50, provided that n+m is 2 or more, and a preparation method thereof.

The present application provides: a polycarbonate resin which has heat resistance and is able to be produced using a starting material that is derived from natural products; and a monomer compound which enables the achievement of this resin. A polycarbonate resin which includes a constituent unit represented by general formula (1); a monomer compound which enables the achievement of this resin; and a polycarbonate resin which includes a constituent unit represented by general formula (1) and a constituent unit represented by general formula (2).

The present invention relates to novel high-value polycarbonate polyols, to processes for the production thereof, to polyisocyanate prepolymers obtainable therefrom and also polyurethane (PUR) and polyurethane urea elastomers which under particularly demanding applications show unique combinations of processing characteristics, hydrolysis and oxidation stability, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties.

A bio-based polycarbonate ester resin is environment friendly by not containing a bisphenol, and exhibits excellent heat resistance, transparency, strength, hardness, dimensional stability and chemical resistance. Thus, the bio-based polycarbonate ester resin is suitable for use in an eyeglass frame. In addition, various colors may be painted and coated on during post-processing, a separate additive is not required during a molding process, and processing is undergone at a temperature lower than that for conventional plastic materials for an eyeglass frame, and thus manufacturing costs may be reduced.

The subject matter of this invention relates to hydrogel compositions and, more particularly, to hydrogel compositions comprising block copolymers (BCPs) capable of self-assembly into nanoparticles for the delivery and controlled release of therapeutic cargos.

Release layers that include an oligomeric component comprising a unit of the Formula (I) are useful for releasably transferring components from one surface to another during manufacturing of microelectronic devices.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a cycloaliphatic diester, to a method for producing a polyestercarbonate using the one cycloaliphatic diester, to the use of a cycloaliphatic diester for producing polyestercarbonates and also to a polyestercarbonate. The method according to the invention is here in particular characterized in that the cycloaliphatic diester is separated by means of distillation from the reaction mixture.

A resin composition contains: a resin containing a constituent unit (A) represented by general formula (1); and a resin containing a constituent unit (B) represented by formula (2) and/or a constituent unit (C) represented by formula (3). (R.sub.1 represents a methyl group or an ethyl group, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and n represents 0 or 1.) (R.sub.a and R.sub.b represent a hydrogen atom, etc., R.sub.h represents an aryl group of 6-20 carbons, X represents a single bond or a fluorene group, A and B represent an alkylene group of 1-4 carbons, m and n represent integers 0-6, and a and b represent integers 0-10.) (R.sub.c and R.sub.d represent a hydrogen atom, etc., Y represents a fluorene group, A and B represent an alkylene group of 1-4 carbons, p and q represent integers 0-4, and a and b represent integers 0-10.)

##STR00001##
