Summary:PCT No. PCT/JP97/00038 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 1, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 1, 1998 PCT Filed Jan. 10, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/30614 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 16, 1998There are provided propylene-ethylene copolymers from which there are made molded articles having excellent heat resistance and films having both low temperature heat-sealing characteristics and stiffness, processes for the production thereof and molded articles. The propylene-ethylene copolymers contain 0.01-15 mol % of an ethylene unit and are characterized by that in the chain structure determined by NMR, triad (PEP), triad (EEE) and a ratio (N alpha beta ) of all alpha , beta -methylene carbons to all propylene units are in the specified range, a weight average molecular weight is 50,000-1,500,000 and a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) is 1.2-3.8. The copolymers can be produced by copolymerizing ethylene and propylene in the presence of a catalyst in which the specified chiral transition metal compound (metallocene) and aluminoxane are combined.
