Abstract Mechanical tests of C60/C70 single crystals allow one to assign them to the category of soft and fragile materials. Their mechanical properties are comparable with those of graphite but, in contrast, they are isotropic. The dependence of C60/C70 microhardness on the temperature in the range 77–570 K and on the influence of solvent residues has been examined. Preliminary data on microhardness of pure C60 and C70 have been obtained.
