Various kinds of carbon nanotube-based and graphene-based nanomaterials are considered as future materials for electronic devices due to their outstanding properties. This review paper reports tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) studies of polymer nanocomposites containing carbon nanomaterials and graphenes. TERS is an emerging spectroscopic tool that combines scanning probe microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Compared with normal Raman spectroscopy, TERS has much better spatial resolution and sensitivity. The usefulness of TERS technique in studying structure and interactions of nanomaterials is demonstrated by introducing four TERS studies. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2015.329]
