Abstract
Functional polymer films are key components in the display industry, and the theoretical prediction of the optical properties of stretched polymer films is important. In this study, we try to establish the theoretical calculation process without an empirical database to predict the refractive index, including wavelength dispersions and optical retardation of stretched polymer films using several commercial simulation tools. The polarizability tensor and molecular volume for periodic units of polymers are accurately simulated, resulting in the accurate prediction of the mean refractive index and its dispersion for raw polymer materials. The birefringence of stretched films is also calculated to predict reasonably accurate optical properties of stretched films. The simulation method is an effective way that requires a relatively short time and low cost to develop new types of polymer films.
