Abstract

Thermoplastic, linear, high molecular weight, end-capped aromatic polycarbonate polymers exhibiting improved heat resistance derived from: PA1 (i) a carbonate precursor; and PA1 (ii) at least one dihydric phenol represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein X is selected from monocyclic cycloalkylidene radicals containing from 10 to about 16 ring carbon atoms. These polycarbonate polymers have an intrinsic viscosity in methylene chloride at 25.degree. C. of at least 0.38 dl./gm.
