Abstract
Disclosed herein is a polypropylene resin composition of a high syndiotacticity comprising a substantial homopolymer of propylene, in which the ratio of the intensity of the peak attributable to the syndiotactic pentad bonds to the sum of the intensities of all the peaks attributable to the methyl groups in the spectrum of the methyl groups measured by .sup.13 C-NMR is 0.7 or more, and a copolymer of ethylene and propylene, and a preparation process thereof.
Claims1
A polypropylene resin composition of high syndiotactic characteristics which comprises a substantial homopolymer of propylene, in which the ratio of the intensity of the peak attributable to the syndiotactic pentad bonds to the sum of the intensities of all the peaks attributable to the methyl groups in the spectrum of the methyl groups measured by .sup.13 C-NMR is 0.7 or more, and a copolymer of ethylene and propylene, in which the molar ratio of ethylene units to propylene units ranges from 15/85 to 85/15, and the weight ratio of said homopolymer to said copolymer ranges from 95/5 to 50/50, said polypropylene resin composition having improved transparency over a syndiotatic homopolymer of propylene and being prepared by first polymerizing propylene substantially singly in the presence of a catalyst capable of forming high syndiotatic polypropylene and then copolymerizing ethylene and propylene in the same polymerization reaction system.
