The present invention provides long-fiber reinforced polypropylene
compositions comprising: (a) about 29-77 wt % of a crystalline
polypropylene resin comprising about 50-100 wt % of a propylene
homopolymer; (b) about 20-50 wt % of a long-fiber reinforcing material
having an average fiber length of about 3-50 mm and an average diameter
of about 4-30 .mu.m; (c) about 2-20 wt % of an elastomer, a plastomer, or
a mixture thereof having a melt index as measured at 190.degree. C. of
about 20-150 g/10 min, wherein said elastomer, plastomer, or mixture
thereof was polymerized by a metallocene-based catalyst; and (d) about
0.01-3 wt % of a radical initiator, wherein the ratio of the melt index
as measured at 230.degree. C. of the crystalline polypropylene resin to
the melt index as measured at 190.degree. C. of the elastomer, the
plastomer, or the mixture thereof is in the range of about 0.5 to about
10.
