Silver cluster formation in bulk block copolymer films (static‐cast) and in thin films (microtomed or spin‐coated) was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. In all cases, the silver clusters were formed predominantly within the original silver‐containing microdomains. A greater degree of control of cluster formation and a narrower cluster size distribution were achieved in the thin films of block copolymers. The interfaces between domains of the heterogeneous copolymers and the free interfaces of the thin film specimens all played an important role in nucleation and growth of clusters.
