Abstract

Polymer blends are together with polymer thin films on stiff substrate a broad category of inhomogeneous samples, whose local properties can be advantageously investigated with an AFM.

The present chapter about polymer blends is divided into two parts. In the first part, experiments on model blends and confined polymers are reviewed, whereas the second part deals with the characterisation of microstructured blends.
