Abstract This paper describes an etchant, chromic acid, which reveals the microstructures present in bulk samples of annealed isotactic polypropylene. It is shown how this reagent may be used first, to follow the attack of fuming nitric acid on polypropylene, and second, to identify the types of crack which occur when a bulk sample of annealed polypropylene fractures under tensile load.
