Images of PSt60%-b-PDEAEM40%/PDEAEM-AuNP (9 : 1) thin films prepared using a 1% w/w toluene solution over mica substrate at a spinning velocity of 8000 rpm after annealing in vacuum at 90°C for 48 h: (a) AFM topographic image obtained using the intermittent contact mode, (b) STEM low magnification image, obtained from detached film, and (c) higher magnification image of a cluster of AuNPs from image shown in (b).
