Abstract

Disclosed is an aromatic polycarbonate composition which is substantially the same as that produced by a method comprising: (1) subjecting to a transesterification reaction in a polymerizer at least one polymerizable material selected from a molten monomer mixture of an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a diaryl carbonate, and a molten prepolymer obtained by reacting an aromatic dihydroxy compound with a diaryl carbonate, wherein the polymerizable material is present in the form of a liquid mass in the polymerizer, and wherein the reaction of the liquid mass of polymerizable material is performed under conditions such that the following formula is satisfied: log (S/V).gtoreq.2.times.10.sup.-5 .times.Mn+0.8, wherein S represents an evaporation surface area (m.sup.2) defined as the area (m.sup.2) of an exposed surface of the liquid mass of polymerizable material; V represents the volume (m.sup.3) of the liquid mass of polymerizable material in the polymerizer; and Mn represents the Mn of the aromatic polycarbonate to be produced, PA1 thereby obtaining an aromatic polycarbonate (A) in molten form; PA1 (2) adding to (A) in molten form a thermoplastic resin (B) other than an aromatic poly…
