In this work, we provide more insight into the rheological properties of functionalized polypropylene copolymers with modified architectures, which originate long-chain branching. The evaluation of the average distance between branches and the frac- tion of long-chain branch points has been carried out quantitatively, by numerical fitting of experimental data according to a litera- ture model, and the viscoelastic response of the samples has been analyzed in terms of a Carreau-Yasuda-like model and Cole-Cole plots. These analyses allowed us to discriminate the viscoelastic behavior of the samples on the basis of their feed composition. More- over, we were able to highlight direct correlations between viscosity, long-chain branching level, distance between branching points and functionalization degrees of PP polymers.
