Abstract

In this work we show the ability of electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) to localize and characterize conducting nanofillers inside the domains of a block copolymer matrix. As case study we report the confinement of carbon nanotubes into polystyrene‐b‐polyisoprene‐b‐polystyrene block copolymer (SIS) matrix. In particular, the EFM technique has been used to obtain information with unprecedented imaging of octadecylamine functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotubes, sequestered in the self‐assembled lamellar polystyrene domains of the SIS block copolymer matrix.
