Certain specific embodiments of the invention will now be discussed. For
example, a process of preparing a polymer composition that includes a
branched crystalline diene-modified polypropylene random terpolymer is
described, which process includes: contacting a metallocene catalyst
compound with a polymerization medium that includes at least a propylene
monomer, a first diene monomer, and a second diene monomer; and
conducting polymerization of the monomers in the presence of the
metallocene catalyst compound for a time sufficient to provide a branched
crystalline diene-modified polypropylene random terpolymer that includes
monomeric units derived from each of the monomers, and having from 0.0 wt
% to 2.0 wt % ethylene and a heat of fusion of 30 J/g or more.
