The effects of morphology on mechanism of plastic deformation are investigated for binary blends of isotactic polypropylene and rubbery ethylene‐1‐hexene copolymers. In this work, plastic deformation developed during elongation is investigated by measuring light transmittance, electron microscopy, and ultrasonic propagation in the temperature region between 298 K and 353 K. It is found that the compatible blends hardly show stress‐whitening at any temperature, whereas the incompatible blends show distinct stress‐whitening below 333 K. Furthermore, microscopic defects such as microvoids and crystalline defects are found to be precursors for crazing which are origin of the stress‐whitening.
