“Transparent Metal”
Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate (abbreviated as PC) is a polymer that contains carbonate groups in its molecular chains. Depending on the structure of the ester groups, it can be divided into various types including aliphatic, aromatic, and aliphatic-aromatic polycarbonates. Among these, the mechanical properties of aliphatic and aliphatic-aromatic polycarbonates are relatively low, which limits their application in engineering plastics.
