46. Elemental analysis calculations were based upon the percent of each differently substituted monomer (see text), assuming that only bromides ortho to the polymer backbone would be unreacted.
47. Polycarbonate (3.6 g) was used since this was the minimum amount necessary to fill the test bar mold (1/8 in. thick × 1/2 in. long × 3 in. long).
48. The brominated oligomeric carbonate used was 58 wt % bromide in content. The calculated weight of bromide was multiplied by 58% to give the amount of brominated oligomeric carbonate that was to be added to the blend.
