✦ Synopsis

Electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) was used to localize and characterize conducting nanofillers inside the domains of a block copolymer matrix. The confinement of carbon nanotubes into polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene block copolymer (SIS) matrix was investigated. The EFM technique provided 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.

Abstraet--A calorimetric study was made of micelle formation by a polystyrene-b-polyisoprene block copolymer in n-hexadecane which is a selectively bad solvent for polystyrene. A value of -44.0 + 4.0 kJ mol-~ was obtained for the enthalpy of micellisation, in good agreement with a value of -40.7 +2.
