## Abstract The kinetic aspects of the bisphenol‐A polycarbonate–polybutylene terephthalate exchange reaction are considered as a function of temperature and of the PC/PBTP ratio. The most likely mechanism is a direct reversible ester‐ester interchange reaction catalyzed by titanium residues presen

Abstract
Exchange reactions in molten bisphenol‐A polycarbonate–poly(butylene terephthalate) mixtures are investigated by means of model reactions. Transesterification can result either from direct ester‐ester interchange or via alcoholysis or acidolysis. Among the various reactions investigated, only the PBTP alcoholysis by phenol is not found to occur. Taking into account that bisphenol‐A terephthalate units (A~2~B~1~) and butylene carbonate units (A~1~B~2~) are formed in equimolecular amounts, it is concluded that direct ester‐ester interchange is the most likely mechanism for PC‐PBTP transesterification.
