Abstract

A molded polypropylene having an excellent balance among various material properties including impact resistance, transparency, gloss, molding shrinkage, and whitening resistance. The molding is constituted of a material comprising a resin composition comprising 10 to 60% by weight crystalline polypropylene (matrix) and 90 to 40% by weight propylene/&agr;-olefin copolymer (domains). The copolymer has been dispersed in the crystalline polypropylene to form domains elongated in the direction (MD) in which the resin composition flows during molding. Each domain is connected to one or more other domains at least at one site (connecting chain).
