Heterophasic polypropylene copolymer compositions and methods of making the same include a matrix phase of a random polypropylene-based copolymer; and an elastomeric rubber phase dispersed in the matrix phase, wherein the elastomeric rubber phase includes propylene and one or more comonomers and has a viscosity index ratio, relative to a viscosity index of the random polypropylene-based copolymer, that ranges from 0.3 to 1.1; and wherein an average particle size of the dispersed elastomeric rubber phase is less than 300 nm. Methods include dispersing an elastomeric rubber phase that includes propylene and one or more comonomers into a matrix phase of a random polypropylene-based copolymer, wherein the elastomeric rubber phase has a viscosity index ratio, relative to a viscosity index of the random polypropylene-based copolymer that ranges from 0.3 to 1.1.
