Polymer-based nanocomposites allow to combine the extraordinary features of the individual materials forming the nanocomposite. Especially the richness of polymer structures in blend as well as block-copolymer systems in thin film geometry gives rise to new classes of nanocomposite materials. Annealing as a second step in nanocomposite preparation allows for further nanostructuring the polymer film inducing e.g. a definite roughness or particle distribution. In our approach we combine the richness of the polymer structure with a metal coating [1,2]. Such polymer-based metal nanocomposites are widely used in many optical and biotechnological applications. As experimental method to study such nanocomposites, we used microbeam grazing incidence small-angle x-ray scattering at the beamline BW4 of HASYLAB (Hamburg). Our results reveal the dominating influence of the polymer layer in the structure of this nanocomposite.
