Selective incorporation of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) in the poly(4‐vinylpyridine) nanodomains of a poly(styrene‐ b ‐4‐vinylpyridine) diblock copolymer thin film (see structure) results in much higher conductivity and faster electron tunneling than in a random distribution of the same QDs in poly(4‐vinylpyridine) homopolymer.
