A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study of plasma‐formed polyethylene and polystyrene is reported. A two‐phase structure of spheres embedded in a polymer binder is evident, supporting the predictions of earlier low‐angle x‐ray scattering data taken of these two plasma‐deposited polymers.
