Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are a propylene resin material capable of affording a molded article superior in impact properties, tensile properties, and appearance, and a method for producing the same. The propylene resin material includes a propylene homopolymer portion and a propylene-ethylene copolymer portion and satisfies specific requirements. The production method includes the step of mixing an organic peroxide with a propylene polymeric material produced via a multistage polymerization process using a polymerization catalyst and comprising a propylene homopolymer portion and a propylene-ethylene copolymer portion, the step of heating the mixture obtained via the mixing step, at a temperature lower than a decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide at which the half-life of the organic peroxide is one minute, and the step of washing the mixture heated in the heating step, with a medium containing an organic solvent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A propylene resin material comprising a propylene homopolymer portion (I) and a propylene-ethylene copolymer portion (II), wherein the propylene resin material satisfies the following requirements (1), (2), (3), and (4): requirement (1): the copolymer portion (II) comprises constitutional units derived from propylene and constitutional units derived from ethylene, wherein the content of the constitutional units derived from ethylene is 20 to 70% by weight where the overall weight of the copolymer portion (II) is taken as 100% by weight; requirement (2): the value of EPcxis calculated from a formula: EPcxis =(C2′CXIS/C2′CXS) x100 is 100 or more where the content of the constitutional units derived from ethylene contained in the components soluble in xylene at 20° C. of the propylene resin material is represented by C2′CXS, the components soluble in xylene at 20° C. are collectively named CXS, the content of the constitutional units derived from ethylene contained in the components insoluble in xylene at 20° C. of the propylene resin material is represented by C2′CXIS, the components insoluble in xylene at 20° C. are collectively named CXIS; requirement (3): the arithmetic mean (ΔEP) of the polypropylene resin material determined by the following procedures (1) through (5) is 20% or less; (1) the contents of five types of triads PPE CXS , EPE cxs , PEP cxs , PEE CXS , and EEE CXS contained in the CXS, and the contents of five types of triads PPE CXIS , EPE CXIS , PEPcms, PEE CXIS , and EEE CXIS contained in the CXIS are measured using 13 C-NMR; (2) the ratios, PPE EP CXS , EPE EP CXS , PEP EP CXS , PEE EP CXS , and EEE EP CXS , of the respective five types of triads contained in the CXS to the sum total of the contents of the five types of triads are calculated from the following equations; PPE CXS EP = PPE CXS PPE CXS + EPE CXS + PEP CXS + PEE CXS + EEE CXS EPE CXS EP = EPE CXS PPE CXS + EPE CXS + PEP CXS + PEE CXS + EEE CXS PEP CXS EP = PEP CXS PPE CXS + EPE CXS + PEP CXS + PEE CXS + EEE CXS PEE CXS EP = PEE CXS PPE CXS + EPE CXS + PEP CXS + PEE CXS + EEE CXS EEE CXS EP = EEE CXS PPE CXS + EPE CXS + PEP CXS + PEE CXS + EEE CXS (3) the ratios, PPE EP CXIS , EPE EP CXIS , PEP EP CXIS , PEE EP CXIS , and EEE EP CXIS , of the respective five types of triads contained in the CXIS to the sum total of the contents of the five types of triads are calculated from the following equations; PPE CXIS EP = PPE CXIS PPE CXIS + EPE CXIS + PEP CXIS + PEE CXIS + EEE CXIS EPE CXIS EP = EPE CXIS PPE CXIS + EPE CXIS
