The material properties of conducting thin films are - like for many other material systems - closely linked to the nanoscale order and disorder of the involved polymers. Therefore it is important to have adequate experimental methods allowing the characterization of crystallization and aggregation of polymers in thin films, and ideally also during thin film formation. Grazing incidence wide angle x-ray scattering is more and more frequently used to examine the nanoscale order in thin films. Using examples of model systems and novel materials studied in our group the capabilities and limitations of this method are demonstrated.
