Disclosed is propylene copolymers produced by the aid of a specific metallocene catalyst system, wherein a percentage of mis-insertion in the copolymer is highly controlled and the copolymers possess beat-resisting property and a high melt strength and a low MFR and are narrow in molecular weight distribution excellent in particulate properties as well as a process for producing the copolymers possessing high steroregularity at a practical polymerzation temperature. The gist of the present invention resides in production of propylene copolymers wherein copolymerization with alpha,omega-diene is carried out by the aid of a supported-type catalyst system comprised predominantly of the following compound (A), (B), (C) and (D) at a temperature above 45° C.:the compound (A): a specific metallocene compound represented bythe compound (B): an aluminoxane,the compound (C): an organoaluminum compound, andthe compound (D): a particulate carrier.An important feature of the propylene copolymers of the present invention resides in the fact that the copolymers are high stereoregular and have a ratio of a mis-inserted unit based on 2,1-insertion of propylene monomer in the total propylene insertion being defined within a specific range. |
