Abstract

Polypropylene having improved long chain branching increased melt strength obtained by irradiating polypropylene with an electron beam having an energy of at least 5 MeV and with a radiation dose of from 5 to 100 kGray in the presence of a grafting agent, the branching index of the obtained polypropylene being lower than 0.7.
