“…However, comparatively very less work has been reported on the microhardness studies of organic crystals. Vickers microhardness on { I00}, {001 } and { 110} forms of sucrose crystals has been studied and it was found that it correlates with the attachment energy rather than the surface energy (Sgualdino et al 1990). Also, there is a report on the study of Vickers hardness on sucrose single crystals (Elban et al 1994).…”

“…Sgualdino et al [82] employed the Vickers microhardness test on (100), (001), and (110) facets of sucrose crystals and found that the microhardness correlated well with the attachment energy rather than the surface energy. Elban et al [83] assessed the fracture behavior of (100) planes of sucrose crystals using Vickers indentation hardness testing, which was related to their attachment energy calculations.…”

This review article summarizes the recent advances in measuring and understanding the indentation-induced plastic deformation and fracture behavior of single crystals of a wide variety of organic molecules and pharmaceutical compounds. The importance of hardness measurement for molecular crystals at the nanoscale, methods and models used so far to analyze and estimate the hardness of the crystals, factors affecting the indentation hardness of organic crystals, correlation of the mechanical properties to their underlying crystal packing, and fracture toughness studies of molecular crystals are reviewed.
