The elucidation of structural aspects of polyolefins (isotactic and syndiotactic polypropene and isotactic poly(1‐butene)) oriented by epitaxial crystallization is briefly described. Investigations are performed by a combination of electron and Atomic Force Microscopy. AFM helps assess submolecular details in well defined crystallographic planes selected via the epitaxial crystallization.
