Amorphous poly(alpha olefins)® (APAOs) with various types and contents of comonomers, and molecular weight were characterized by general, thermal, rheological, and mechanical methods and their properties were correlated with their molecular parameters. It was found that they can be used as a modifier for isotactic polypropylene. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007
