Abstract Blends based on quaternized polysulfones were investigated in terms of optical and electronic properties. By applying the Bicerano formalism the refractive index and dielectric constant were evaluated. Also, the dielectric constant of these blends was studied as a function of temperature and frequency. As the result of the main chain structure and charged groups, an increase in theoretical values of the refractive index and dielectric constant with increasing of the ionic quaternized units content in the polymer blend occurs. Additionally, decrease in the dielectric constant with the increase of frequency and decrease of temperature was observed. Refractive index and dielectric constant values indicate that the analyzed samples are transparent and can be used in obtaining of materials with applications involving a small polarizability. Thus, the results are important in prediction of the special optoelectronic features of new polymers blends to obtain high-performance materials with applications in electronic and biomedical fields.
