摘要：
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used as a tool to explore the nanomechanical properties of isostatic poly(propylene) (PP) homopolymer and a high impact poly(propylene) (hiPP) products with the different rubber contents. It was shown that the interpretation of the approach curves (forces vs. piezo displacement) allows one to identify the relative amounts of rubber at different spots within the particles. In addition, it was possible to differentiate between the areas where the rubber layers were less than 10nm thick, and those where there was more rubber. Comparison of the mechanical properties of PP and hiPP particles allowed us to propose a model for the distribution of rubber within the particles.
