Abstract
Mechanical tests of C-60/C-70 Single crystals allow one to assign them to the category of soft and fragile materials. Their mechanical prope rties are comparable with those of graphite but, in contrast, they are isotropic. The dependence of C-60/C-70 microhardness on the temperatu re in the range 77-570 K and on the influence of solvent residues has been examined. Preliminary data on microhardness of pure C-60 and C-70 have been obtained.
