Silicone-containing copolycarbonates possessing relatively long siloxane chains and yet having low haze values and hence transparency are prepared by reacting a siloxane bischloroformate with a hydroxy-terminated polycarbonate oligomer to afford a silicone-containing polycarbonate intermediate which...
