Abstract
The photodegradation mechanism of polycarbonate (PC) was investigated by quantum chemistry, and a novel antidegradation molecular design using substituents was proposed. It was demonstrated that electron-withdrawing substituents in the phenyl moiety controlled bond alternation, leading to inhibition of the O-C bond cleavage in the carbonate moiety. These results provide a promising alternative for durable PC synthesis.
