The alignment of PS-coated maghemite nanoparticles (NPs) within diblock copolymer (DBC) templates was investigated with regard to potential magnetic applications. The focus lies on the effects of control parameters on the morphology of the nanoparticles-diblock copolymer hybrid films, including the type of DBC, the thickness of the films, and the concentration of incorporated NPs. Microscopic imaging and scattering techniques provide a thorough understanding of the surface and inner structures of the films, which are compared to their corresponding magnetic properties.
