Thermotropic polyester carbonates derived from t ‐butylhydroquinone, methylhydroquinone, diphenyl terephthalate, and diphenyl carbonate in the molar ratio of 50 : 50 : 55 : 45; 50 : 50 : 57.5 : 5 : 42.5 and 50 : 50 : 60 : 40 can be injection molded successfully from temperatures 10°C below melting to 30–40°C above melting. Normally the best molding temperatures are 10–20°C above melting. If the molding conditions are controlled properly, tensile strengths as high as 1.8 × 10 4 psi, tensile moduli as high as 7.4 × 10 5 psi, and flex moduli as high as 1.1 × 10 6 psi can be obtained.
