- MFR 2 (230 °C) is measured according to ISO 1133 (230 °C, 2.16 kg load).
- Quantitative nuclear-magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to quantify the comonomer content and comonomer sequence distribution of the polymers.
- Quantitative 13 C ⁇ l H ⁇ NMR spectra were recorded in the solution-state using a Bruker Advance III 400 NMR spectrometer operating at 400.15 and 100.62 MHz for l H and 13 C respectively. All spectra were recorded using a 13 C optimised 10 mm extended temperature probehead at 125°C using nitrogen gas for all pneumatics.
- Standard single-pulse excitation was employed without NOE, using an optimised tip angle, 1 s recycle delay and a bi-level WALTZ16 decoupling scheme (Zhou, Z., Kuemmerle, R., Qiu, X., Redwine, D., Cong, R., Taha, A., Baugh, D. Winniford, B., J. Mag. Reson. 187 (2007) 225; Busico, V., Carbonniere, P., Cipullo, R., Pellecchia, R., Severn, J., Talarico, G., Macromol. Rapid Commun. 2007, 28, 1128). A total of 6144 (6k) transients were acquired per spectra.
- Quantitative 13 C ⁇ 1 H ⁇ NMR spectra were processed, integrated and relevant quantitative properties determined from the integrals using proprietary computer programs. All chemical shifts were indirectly referenced to the central methylene group of the ethylene block (EEE) at 30.00 ppm using the chemical shift of the solvent. This approach allowed comparable referencing even when this structural unit was not present. Characteristic signals corresponding to the incorporation of ethylene were observed Cheng, H. N., Macromolecules 17 (1984), 1950).
- the comonomer fraction was quantified using the method of Wang et. al. (Wang, W-J., Zhu, S., Macromolecules 33 (2000), 1157) through integration of multiple signals across the whole spectral region in the 13 C ⁇ 1 H ⁇ spectra. This method was chosen for its robust nature and ability to account for the presence of regio-defects when needed. Integral regions were slightly adjusted to increase applicability across the whole range of encountered comonomer contents. For systems where only isolated ethylene in PPEPP sequences was observed the method of Wang et. al. was modified to reduce the influence of non-zero integrals of sites that are known to not be present. This approach reduced the overestimation of ethylene content for such systems and was achieved by reduction of the number of sites used to determine the absolute ethylene content to:

- the catalyst used in the polymerization processes for the heterophasic propylene copolymers (RAHECO) of the inventive examples (IE) was prepared as follows:
- Viscoplex ® 1 -254 provided by Evonik
- Mg alkoxide solution was prepared by adding, with stirring (70 rpm), into 11 kg of a 20 wt- % solution in toluene of butyl ethyl magnesium (Mg(Bu)(Et)), a mixture of 4.7 kg of 2- ethylhexanol and 1.2 kg of butoxypropanol in a 20 1 stainless steel reactor. During the addition the reactor contents were maintained below 45 °C. After addition was completed, mixing (70 rpm) of the reaction mixture was continued at 60 °C for 30 minutes. After cooling to room temperature 2.3 kg g of the donor bis(2-ethylhexyl)citraconate was added to the Mg-alkoxide solution keeping temperature below 25 °C. Mixing was continued for 15 minutes under stirring (70 rpm).
- the catalyst particles were washed with 45 kg of toluene at 90°C for 20 minutes followed by two heptane washes (30 kg, 15 min). During the first heptane wash the temperature was decreased to 50 °C and during the second wash to room temperature.
- the thus obtained catalyst was used along with triethyl- aluminium (TEAL) as co-catalyst and dicyclopentyl dimethoxy silane (D-Donor) as donor.
