Some additional possibilities for microhardness investigations of polymer materials using a standard Vickers microhardness device are discussed. Two new investigation methods have been suggested: determining the impression size under a load; obtaining penetration curves. Their advantages and prospects, especially in combination with standard methods, have been demonstrated on non-polymer and different polymer (plastic and elastic) materials. On the basis of the additional information obtained, some new and more precise conclusions concerning structure and physico-mechanical properties can be drawn. The proposed methods seem to be particularly appropriate for studying specific supermolecular structures of polymers and composite materials as well as processes and structural changes affecting predominantly surface layers or amorphous phase, for example ageing, chemical and physical modification, irradiation, etc.
