Claims
- 1. A transparent and impact-resistant multi-layer blow-molded article which comprises:
- (i) at least one layer comprising a syndiotactic propylene homopolymer which has a syndiotactic pentad fraction of 0.7 or more and an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.5 to 10 measured in a tetrahydronapthalene solution at 135.degree. C. or a syndiotactic propylene copolymer which contains 10% by weight or less of ethylene or .alpha.-olefin units having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and wherein a peak intensity observed at about 20.2 ppm in the absorption spectrum of .sup.13 C-NMR measured in a 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene solution of the polypropylene is 0.5 or more of a peak intensity attributed to all the methyl groups of the propylene unit and a copolymer of ethylene and propylene; and
- (ii) at least one surface layer comprising a syndiotactic propylene homopolymer which has a syndiotactic pentad fraction of 0.7 or more and an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.5 to 10 measured in a tetrahydronaphthalene solution at 135.degree. C.
- 2. The molded article according to claim 1 wherein the content of the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure is from 30% by weight to 99% by weight of the resin composition.
- 3. The molded article according to claim 1 wherein the content of the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure is from 45% by weight to 99% by weight of the resin composition.
- 4. The molded article according to claim 3 wherein the content of the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure is from 55% by weight to 98% by weight of the resin composition.
- 5. The molded article according to claim 1 wherein the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure is a homopolymer of propylene which has a syndiotactic pentad fraction of 0.7 or more and an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.5 to 10 measured in a tetrahydronaphthalene solution at 135.degree. C.
- 6. The molded article according to claim 1 wherein the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure contains 10% by weight or less of ethylene or .alpha.-olefin units having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and a peak intensity observed at about 20.2 ppm in the absorption spectrum of .sup.13 C-NMR measured in a 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene solution of the polypropylene is 0.5 or more of a peak intensity attributed to all the methyl groups of the propylene unit.
- 7. The molded article according to claim 1 in which the glass transition temperature of the ethylene-propylene copolymer is -10.degree. C. or less, and the ethylene-propylene copolymer is sufficiently compatible with the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure or dispersible as fine particles in the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure, and has an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.5 to 10 measured in a tetrahydronaphthalene solution at 135.degree. C.
- 8. The molded article according to claim 1 wherein an ethylene content in the ethylene-propylene copolymer is from 10% by weight to 95% by weight of the copolymer.
- 9. The molded article according to claim 1 wherein an ethylene content in the ethylene-propylene copolymer is from 15% by weight to 90% by weight of the copolymer.
- 10. The molded article according to claim 1 wherein the layer of the polypropylene having the substantially syndiotactic structure is a propylene homopolymer having the substantially syndiotactic structure.
- 11. The molded article according to claim 1, wherein said surface layer (ii) is an outer layer.
