The hydrolytic aging of an unstabilized industrial sample of polycarbonate was studied at 40, 70, 80, and 90Β°C, 100% RH. The water absorption characteristics show that, at equilibrium, the polymer absorbs about 0.04 mol water per ester group and that the equilibrium is reached after about 10-40 h ex
