Abstract

A method for preparing novel poly(aryl ether)-(poly aryl carbonate) block copolymers by the decarboxylation of copolycarbonates prepared by the condensation of two different aromatic dihydroxy compounds and a carbonate precursor such as phosgene. At least one of the aromatic diols must have at least one electron-withdrawing group located in a position ortho or para to at least one of its hydroxy groups and at least one of the diols must not have any electron-withdrawing groups in a position ortho or para to either of its hydroxy groups. The method is particularly effective in making crystalline block copolymers.
