    Abstract: In an embodiment, a melt polymerization process comprises melt polymerizing a carbonate compound and a dihydroxy compound in the presence of a catalyst composition to form a polycarbonate; and adding an end-capping agent comprising a mono-phenolic compound to the polycarbonate, wherein the adding of the end-capping agent comprises at least one of adding the end-capping agent just upstream of a final polymerization unit, adding the end-capping agent directly into the final polymerization unit, and adding the end-capping agent downstream of the final polymerization unit; wherein a molecular weight of the polycarbonate increases by less than 10% downstream of the final polymerization unit.
