Abstract

Branched crystalline polypropylene compositions and methods for the preparation of branched crystalline polypropylene compositions are provided. For example, described herein is a process of preparing a branched crystalline polypropylene composition that includes combining two or more different metallocene catalyst compounds with a polymerization medium that includes propylene, for a time sufficient to provide branched crystalline polypropylene that has from 0.0 wt % to 2.0 wt % ethylene and a heat of fusion of 70 J/g or more.
