CYRSTALLINE POLYCARBONATE ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
In an embodiment, an article comprises a crystalline polycarbonate, wherein the article has a polycarbonate crystallinity of greater than or equal to 10 wt% based on the total weight of the polycarbonate. In another embodiment, a method of making an article comprises adding a crystalline polycarbonate powder into a cavity of a compression mold; wherein the crystalline polycarbonate powder has a crystallinity of greater than or equal to 10 wt% based on the total weight of the crystalline polycarbonate powder; compressing the crystalline polycarbonate powder in the cavity at a compression temperature of greater than or equal to 10°C less than the melting temperature of the crystalline polycarbonate powder (Tcomp≥ Tm - 10°C) and at a compression pressure of greater than or equal to 1 MPa; and removing the article from the cavity.
