Four samples of C 60 ‐(PS) 2 , i. e., C 60 fullerenes with two low‐polydispersity PS arms at the 1,4‐positions, were studied with respect to their solubility and dispersion state in a PS (polystyrene) matrix by the UV spectroscopic method. C 60 ‐bearing polymers were found to be dispersed, in a blend film or a bulk film of itself, either monomolecularly or in aggregates, depending on the chain length of the polymer moiety and blend composition.
