Pushing the limits of high-resolution polymer microscopy using antioxidants

Pushing the limits of high-resolution polymer microscopy using antioxidants

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been transformative to the field of polymer science but most HRTEM studies are limited by beam damage on the material. Here, the authors examine the effect of the addition of antioxidants to a series of conjugated polymers and demonstrate...
