TL;DR: Data show that during three microwave-heating cycles of a baby bottle made from polycarbonate, microwave radiation had no effect on the migration of bisphenol A into water from poly carbonate.
Abstract: A comprehensive migration database was established for bisphenol A from polycarbonate baby bottles into water during exposure to microwave heating Eighteen different brands of polycarbonate baby bottles sold in Europe were collected Initial residual content of bisphenol A and migration after microwave heating were determined Residual content of bisphenol A in the polycarbonate baby bottles ranged from 14 to 353 mg kg-1 Migration of bisphenol A was determined by placing a polycarbonate bottle filled with water in a microwave oven and heating to 100°C; the level of bisphenol A in the water was analysed by GC-MS The procedure of microwave heating and analysis was repeated twice for the same bottle and, thus, three migration extracts were prepared for each test specimen Migration of bisphenol A into water ranged from <01 to 07 μg l-1 There was no correlation between the amount of residual content of bisphenol A in the bottles and the migration of bisphenol A into water Furthermore, there was no correlation between the amounts of bisphenol A in consecutive migration extracts Data show that during three microwave-heating cycles of a baby bottle made from polycarbonate, microwave radiation had no effect on the migration of bisphenol A into water from polycarbonate All levels found were well below the specific migration limit of 06 mg kg-1 specified for bisphenol A in Commission Directive 2004/19/EC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the origin of the high ionic conductivity of polycarbonate-based polymer electrolytes and showed that poly (propylene carbonate) degrades to micromolecular segments when contacts with Li-metal anode.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of melt blending on the interfacial interaction between thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRG) and polycarbonate (PC) was investigated, and the effects of melt-mixed PC/TRG composite solutions led to dark-colored supernatants, indicating the improved dispersion of TRG in some solvents.
