It is reported on the equilibrium melting point depression of polycarbonate from bisphenol A (PC) in its blend with poly-a-caprolactone (PCL). To this end, a model which explains the bended course of the measured Hoffman-Weeks plots is developed which takes into account the composition changes at the crystal growth front upon progressive crystallization. The occasional melting point depression of the PCL component is discussed. The calculated Flory-Huggins parameter of x12 = -0.09 indicates only weak enthalpic interactions. The remarkable drop in the glass transition temperature of PC with blending allows PC degrees of crystallinity up to 25% upon crystallization from the melt. ZUS AMMENFAS S UNG :Es wird iiber die Gleichgewichts-Schmelzpunktsdepression von Polycarbonat aus Bisphenol A (PC) in Mischungen mit Poly-E-caprolacton (PCL) berichtet. Hierzu wird ein Model1 entwickelt, das den gekriimmten Verlauf der gemessenen Hoffman-Weeks-Plots zu erkliiren vermag. Es beriicksichtigt die Konzentrationsinhomogenitaten, die mit fortscheitender Kristallisation an der Kristallwachstumsfront entstehen. Die gelegentlich beobachtete Schmelzpunktsdepression der PCL-Komponente wird diskutiert. Der Flory-Hugginssche Wechselwirkungsparameter wird zu -0,09 berechnet; aus diesem kleinen Wert mu8 geschlossen werden, dal3 die Mischungspartner enthalpisch nur schwach wechselwirken. Der merkliche Abfall der Glastemperatur des PC nach Einmischen von PCL bewirkt eine betrachtliche Kristallisation aus der Schmelze; es konnen PC-Kristallinitatsgrade bis zu 25% erreicht werden.
