The oxidative doping of single poly( N ‐vinylcarbazole) (PVK) nanoparticles is reported in aqueous sodium perchlorate using the nanoimpact method. Complete oxidative doping of single PVK nanoparticles with a size of approximately 120 nm is demonstrated, showing for the first time a simple strategy to synthesize and characterize doped polymeric nanoparticles at the single nanoparticle level.
