This work proposes a novel protocol to evaluate a water profile inside polymers and composite materials at a microscopic scale. Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) experiments are performed in a dry Room Temperature Ionic Liquid (RTIL) to detect water molecules coming from an organic matrix c...
