Despite of its non-toxicity and eco-friendliness, isosorbide (ISB) polycarbonate is difficult to use solely due to its excessive brittleness. To overcome this drawback, it is necessary to prepare high-molecular-weight ISB-based copolycarbonates with flexible diol monomers. In this research, a series...
