Abstract

Summary: Energy‐filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) was employed for the analysis of polymer‐polymer interfaces. To attain imaging and spectral analyses with a spatial resolution of 10 nm, problems arising in the EFTEM analysis for polymer specimens were investigated. Interfaces in poly(methyl methacrylate)/polystyrene‐co‐polyacrylonitrile random copolymer (PMMA/SAN) bilayer films annealed at different temperatures were analyzed by means of elemental mapping and Image‐EELS on EFTEM and the effect of the annealing temperature on the interfacial structures was also investigated.
