Control of Wavelength Dispersion of Birefringence for Oriented Copolycarbonate Films Containing Positive and Negative Birefringent Units

Abstract

The wavelength dispersion of birefringence for uniaxially oriented copolycarbonate films containing positive and negative birefringent units has been examined by polarization-modulated transmission spectro-ellipsometry, as a function of copolymerization ratio and stretching parameters. The copolymers were synthesized from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (BPA), 9,9-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)fluorene (BMPF) and phosgene by interfacial polycondensation. The films indicate reverse dispersion in the region of BMPF volume fraction from 0.65 to 0.80. The wavelength dispersion is controlled by the copolymerization ratio. The dispersion change of the 70 mol% BMPF copolycarbonate films as a function of stretching parameters is negligible. These behaviors are explained by the birefringence equation for a multicomponent system of the copolymer.
