Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
AN INTIMATE POLYMER BLEND COMPRISING A. THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERIC COPOLYMER OF PROPYLENE AND AT LEAST ONE A-OLEFIN HAVING FROM 6 TO 20 CARBON ATOMS, THE COPOLYMER HAVING STEROREGULAR CRYSTALLINE SEQUENCES AND AMORPHOUS SEQUENCES, ABOUT FROM 10 TO 50 WEIGHT PERCENT OF THE COPOLYMER BEING DERIVED FROM THE A-OLEFIN, THE REMAINDER BEING DERIVED FROM PROPYLENE, THE COPOLYMER HAVING A MELT INDEX OF ABOUT FROM 0.01 TO 200 AT 190*C AND A CRYSTALLINITY NUMBER OF ABOUT FROM 40 TO 70; AND B. ABOUT FROM 5 TO 95%, BY WEIGHT OF THE COPOLYMER BLEND, OF POLYMER HAVING AT LEAST ONE MELTING TRANSITION ABOVE 155*C AND WHICH CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY OF SUBSTANTIALLY STEREOREGULAR POLYPROPYLENE, SAID POLYMERIC COMPONENTS (A) AND (B) HAVING PROPYLENE SEQUENCES OF SIMILAR STEREOREGULARITY.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A copolymer blend of claim 1 where the Alpha -olefin component of the copolymer consists essentially of dodecene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A polymer blend of claim 1 wherein component (b) consists essentially of substantially isotactic propylene homopolymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
