Federal Aviation Administration regulations have required the commercial aircraft industry to utilize flame-resistant materials for interior cabin applications. These materials must meet the OSU heat release requirements with a 2 min integrated heat release and a peak heat release rate of <65 kW-min/m� and < 65 kW/m�, respectively. A series of polycarbonate and polycarbonate-co-polyester copolymers containing siloxane moieties have been developed, as shown in Figure 1, and the OSU performance mapped. The synthesis and analysis of OSU performance of these polycarbonates will be discussed.
