Polycarbonate
In 1953 Hermann Schnell at Bayer joined bisphenol A into long chains through carbonate links and got a clear plastic of remarkable toughness. Daniel Fox at General Electric reached the same material independently the same year, and both companies were selling it by around 1960.
**US 3,028,365**, "Thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonates and their manufacture", Schnell, Bottenbruch and Krimm, assigned to Bayer, filed 12. October 1954, granted 3. April 1962, claims "a high molecular weight, thermoplastic polycarbonate having a melting point of at least about 135°C", made from bisphenol A among a wider family.
**The classic route uses phosgene, a war gas.** You build a drop-weight rig and find the energy that cracks acrylic - then drop the same on polycarbonate.

The specimen table
Cut a 300 x 300 mm plywood board and bore a 100 mm hole in its centre with the hole saw. Rest it on two blocks so the hole is open underneath.

Take 2 m of 32 mm PVC pipe. Mark heights from the bottom every 100 mm and drill a 3 mm hole straight through at each mark. A nail through a hole holds the ball; pulling it drops the ball from that height.

Glasses on. Weigh the 25 mm ball. Drop it from 100 mm, then 200 mm, and so on, on a fresh spot each time, until the acrylic cracks. Record that height. If it survives the top hole, repeat with the 1 kg weight as in the next step.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patent specifies:** high-molecular aromatic polycarbonates from dihydroxy compounds such as bisphenol A, melting at 135 °C or more. **Modern build (derived):** extruded clear polycarbonate sheet.
It went into safety glasses, riot shields, machine guards, bottles and later CDs. Its limits: it scratches easily, yellows in sunlight without a UV coat, is attacked by some solvents, and bisphenol A leaching from food containers made many makers switch those to other plastics.
