Abstract

Complete three-dimensional (3D) structure of polymer/ZrO₂ nanocomposite was obtained by rotating a rod-shaped specimen (diameter: ca. 150 nm) up to ±90° in the transmission electron microscope. This arrangement resulted in a highly-precise 3D reconstruction with Isotropic resolution. Inter-grain distances of the ZrO₂ fillers were determined from the accurate reconstructed 3D data to grasp its dispersibility, which indicated that the fillers were distributed rather evenly in the polymer nanocomposite.
