A polypropylene comprising within a range from 0.1 wt % to 4 wt % ethylene and/or C4 to C12 α-olefin derived units, one or more clarifiers, or both; wherein the polypropylene has a flexural modulus of at least 200 kpsi (0.05 in/min ASTM D790(A)) and an Mz/Mw of at least 4. The polypropylenes may be made by combining propylene and a comonomer with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst and at least two external electron donors, wherein the concentration of the electron donors is within a range from 1 to 100 ppm. The concentration of electron donors may be decreased to control the haze level of the polypropylene, and/or the level of comonomer derived units may be controlled to reduce the haze level of the polypropylene.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a propylene-based block copolymer, the deposition thereof on the inner wall of the polymerization vessel having been sufficiently inhibited. The propylene-based block copolymer of the present invention has a flowability evaluation value of 40% or less, the value being calculated with the following equation wherein X (sec) is the number of seconds over which 100 g of the copolymer having ordinary temperature falls from a stainless-steel funnel having an inner diameter of 11.9 mm and Y (sec) is the number of seconds over which 100 g of the copolymer which has been held at 80° C. for 24 hours under a load of 10 kg falls from the funnel having an inner diameter of 11.9 mm.
Flowability evaluation value (%)={(Y/X)−1}×100.

The present invention relates to heterophasic polypropylene compositions comprising a propylene homo- or copolymer forming a crystalline fraction as a matrix and an amorphous propylene ethylene elastomer as a soluble fraction dispersed in said matrix. The heterophasic polypropylene compositions further comprise an elastomeric ethylene/alpha-olefin random copolymer. The heterophasic polypropylene compositions have a well-balanced relation between stiffness and impact strength, low volatile and semi-volatile emissions and good processability.

A propylene copolymer, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof are provided. The copolymer forms a cross-linked network by means of a reaction between a furan-containing propylene copolymer and a small molecule of a coupling agent, thereby achieving a chemical bond connection between a polypropylene resin phase and an ethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer phase, fundamentally strengthening the force between the two phases, and improving the mechanical properties of a material. Meanwhile, the copolymer can achieve the decrosslinking of a material during melt processing such that the material has thermoplasticity, and after cooling, it can be crosslinked again to produce network structure.
